| Summary | "Helen's Babies" by John Habberton is a humorous novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around Harry Burton, a bachelor who is invited by his sister Helen to look after her two mischievous sons, Budge and Toddie, while she and her husband go on vacation. The narrative focuses on Harry's experiences and challenges as he navigates the antics of his lively nephews, showcasing their innocence, craftiness, and sometimes impish nature. The opening of the book sets the stage for Harry's unexpected adventure, as he receives a letter from Helen, persuading him to join her family at their home in Hillcrest. As he arrives, he is quickly introduced to the chaos brought on by Budge and Toddie, who engage in various forms of mischief, including frightening horses and getting into trouble. Their innocent yet relentless antics create a comedic atmosphere, making Harry's caretaker role both a trial and an unexpected source of amusement. The dynamics between Harry and the boys reveal his gradual adjustment to their lively energy, hinting at a journey of familial love and the joys of childhood that may surprise even the most skeptical uncle.
