LibriVox recording of Miss Billy, by Eleanor H. Porter.
Mr. Neilson was determined to name his first child after his boyhood chum, William Henshaw. When the baby disappointed him by being a girl, he was consoled by naming her Billy. Miss Billy, now 18, orphaned and all alone in the world, takes her lawyer’s suggestion to ask her namesake to take her in. Only one little problem – Mr. Henshaw did not know of her existence, and then mistakenly thinks that Billy is a boy!
Eleanor H. Porter was an early 20th century author of children’s literature and novels. Her most well known book was “Pollyanna” and it’s sequel, “Pollyanna Grows Up”. (Summary by Maria Therese)

Subject: Nice story
Subject: Nice story
This story reminds me of Abbot and Costello because you have one person on one side thinking one thing and others on the other side thinking a different thing and everyone in the middle saying, "I don't know, third base!"
Bille is an orphan who is taken in by her father's boyhood friend. Okay, it's a shock, she's a girl, but they work with it. Billy makes herself comfortable, only to be driven away by a misunderstanding. The Henshaw brothers are saddened, and try to get Billy back to live with them, but it seems like one silly mixup after another gets in the way. It all ends well tho, and everyone finds happiness.
Readers were good, no complaints.

Really enjoyed this! While all the readers were good, I must applaud Phil Chenevert who read 75% of the chapters. I just loved his unhurried and so easy to understand reading. His voice was perfect for the comedy of this story. I look forward to the sequel!
