Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Coming of Bill" by P. G. Wodehouse is a novel published in 1919. It follows Kirk Winfield, an artist, his wife Ruth, and their young son Bill, whose upbringing becomes a battleground when Ruth's domineering aunt interferes with theories about eugenics and sterile environments. As financial troubles arise and the couple drifts apart, Kirk must fight to reunite his family and rescue Bill from an overprotected existence. Unusually for Wodehouse, this work takes a more serious tone than his typical comic novels.
