Billy Whiskers: The Autobiography of a Goat

Frances Trego Montgomery and W. H. Fry

An autobiography with hoofprints on it: the original Billy Whiskers tells his own story, from farmyard rebel to celebrated wanderer. Frances Trego Montgomery's 1902 book launched one of the era's most popular animal series, with W. H. Fry's illustrations along for the ride. Meet the goat before the legend grew. It all starts here, with a butt. Please note: this is the text of the story only. It has no pictures, so it is meant for a grown-up to read aloud rather than for a child to read alone. The illustrated experience of this story is the audiobook edition on Littletone.
