What is Miss Billy about?

Miss Billy by Eleanor H. Porter is a delightful story about a girl being mistaken for a boy - a book so well-written, with a story intriguing that it is no wonder it stayed at the top of the best-sellers list for weeks at the time it was first published in 1911. Well-known for her children's story, romances and adventure stories, Eleanor H. Porter knew and understood young people, especially young girl like no other writer. The protagonist of the story is an eighteen-year-old girl who becomes an orphan and as she has no relatives, she decides to contact one of her late father's friends in Boston, Billy Henshaw, the man she was named after and to ask him to take her in. She signs the letter as Billy, which gives rise to lots of confusion because the addressee of the letter believes the sender of the letter to be a boy. He invites Billy to live with them and the surprise comes when Billy arrives to live in a household with her father's friend and his two younger brothers. The family asks an aunt to come and live with them as the girl's chaperone, but the girl finds that living with the Henshaws is not as she has imagined it to be and goes away to college and to travel in Europe.
