Whistler; or, The Manly Boy

"Whistler; or, The Manly Boy" by Walter Aimwell is published under the author's pseudonym. The writer's actual name is William Simonds. He wrote for a young audience, particularly for young boys. This story is no different. It follows the titular character as he goes through life as a young man who is wise beyond his years and shows how children have always been eager to grow up faster than they do.
