"W. A. G.'s Tale" by Margaret Turnbull is a children's novel written during the early 20th century.

As he settles into his new home with Aunty May and Aunty Edith, the story delves into his adventures, interactions with neighbors, and the challenges he faces as a young boy growing up in a rural setting. The opening of the story introduces readers to Billy, who has been inspired to write his own story while recovering from an illness.
