Summary "Bert Lloyd's Boyhood: A Story from Nova Scotia" by J. Macdonald Oxley is a nostalgic children’s novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the spirited young boy, Cuthbert Lloyd, affectionately known as Bert, as he navigates life in Halifax and experiences the joys and challenges of childhood. Through his adventures, readers can expect to engage with themes of family, friendship, and moral growth in a bygone era. The opening of the book introduces Bert as a lively and imaginative child born to a loving family in Halifax, Nova Scotia. As he grows, his rambunctious nature causes both delight and concern for his parents. Their interactions reveal a warm home environment where Bert is encouraged yet faces the trials of discipline and independence. We see his early ambitions of wanting to be a fireman and his carefree exploration of his surroundings, illustrating his boundless energy and curiosity. The chapter ends with a strong sense of Bert as a character who inspires both love and exasperation in those around him, setting the tone for his adventures to come.
