Summary: "From Squire to Squatter: A Tale of the Old Land and the New" by Gordon Stables is a novel published in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the lives of the Broadbent family, particularly focusing on young Archie, who is celebrating his tenth birthday amidst a backdrop of rural charm and adventure. Major themes include family bonds, the transition from boyhood to manhood, and the challenges that come with change in pastoral life. The opening of the novel introduces the Broadbent family in their cozy home at Burley Old Farm, where Archie eagerly anticipates his upcoming birthday.
