About This Book

Two companions return from a fair with new purchases, including a prized pair of yellow boots, but a porter ruins the boots and a scuffle on a train leads them to flee with a wrapped bundle that proves to be an infant. Stranded at night in a remote landscape, they struggle with the baby's continuous crying, their lack of childcare knowledge, and the scramble to find food and milk. The narrative turns on comic contrasts between vanity and sudden responsibility, with mishaps and improvisations highlighting their helplessness and reluctant tenderness.
