| Summary | "Slaves of Freedom" by Coningsby Dawson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story explores themes of childhood innocence and the complications of adult emotions through the perspective of a young boy named Teddy, living in a quirky household with eccentric characters, including the whimsical Mrs. Sheerug. The narrative unfolds with elements of humor and poignancy as Teddy grapples with his experiences of love and aspiration against a backdrop of family dynamics. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to a day in Mrs. Sheerug's garden, where Teddy witnesses the interactions of two peculiar men—Mr. Hughes, a thin man, and a heavyset man referred to as Mr. Sheerug—who engage in darkly comedic banter about murder, revealing both the innocence and the morbid curiosity of childhood. Subsequently, Teddy finds himself under Mrs. Sheerug’s care, where he transitions from a lively kid to a reluctant patient, presuming the childlike belief that illness can manipulate the surroundings to his favor. The opening chapters set the stage for the whimsical yet complex exploration of love and relationships through Teddy's eyes, hinting at his developing feelings towards an adult woman, Vashti.
