Summary "The Runaway Equator, and the Strange Adventures of a Little Boy in Pursuit of…" by Lilian Bell is a whimsical children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the adventures of a little boy named Billy and a magical Geography Fairy named Nimbus, as they embark on a fantastical journey to locate the runaway Equator, which has escaped from the Earth and threatens to create chaos. Through their adventure, they encounter various enchanting characters and whimsical situations, all while navigating the child's innocent curiosity and imagination. At the start of the tale, Billy is engaged in a geography lesson with his mother, who creatively illustrates the Earth's rotation using an orange and lemon candy. Following their charming interaction, Billy meets Nimbus, who introduces himself as the Geography Fairy. Nimbus explains that he is tasked with keeping the Equator in place, which has recently gone astray due to the Equine Ox’s mistake. Intrigued by the fairy's proposition, Billy decides to join Nimbus on the adventure, leading to the enchanting enchantment of a trolley car that transports them into a world of magic and exploration in pursuit of the runaway Equator. As their journey unfolds, they encounter various whimsical obstacles and characters, setting the stage for an imaginative escapade filled with humor and adventure.
