    About The Wallypug of Why

    "The Wallypug of Why" by G. E. Farrow is a children's novel published in 1895. In the tradition of Lewis Carroll's nonsense fantasy, it follows a girl named Girlie who discovers a peculiar incomplete message from her brother. Her curiosity launches her into the absurd land of Why, where a nervous little king called the Wallypug must address his subjects as "Your Majesty" and obey their commands. Full of wordplay, talking animals, and topsy-turvy logic, this whimsical adventure delights in questions and impossibilities.
