"A Knight on Wheels" by Ian Hay is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young boy named Philip who is raised by his uncle Joseph, a man with strong misogynistic views about women. The narrative unfolds through Philip's experiences as he interacts with his uncle's peculiar philanthropy and his emerging understanding of women, sparked by a chance encounter with a little girl named Peggy at Hampstead Heath. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the unique family dynamic between Philip and Uncle Joseph, who runs an elaborate scheme using phony letters to solicit donations from gullible women. Joseph's strong disdain for women is evident, and he instills these beliefs in Philip, who has been raised without the influence of the female sex. The opening portion depicts their correspondence routine, setting the stage for Philip's internal conflict as he begins to question his uncle's views after meeting Peggy, who represents a new perspective on femininity for him. Through humor and insightful observations, the text hints at Philip's burgeoning emotions and the complexities surrounding gender interactions in the context of his uncle's ideology.
