About This Item
MP3 Audio CD. John Habberton?s Helen?s Babies is a humorous novel that is meant for both children and adults. In the novel, the American journalist manages to wittingly capture the humorous situations that the main character Uncle Harry manages to get into due to the two nephews he is supposed to look after.
The main plot of the novel revolves around Uncle Harry, a bachelor who is called upon by his sister to look after her two angelic boys while she is away. The true humor arises when the poor uncle realizes that the two kids are far from being angles, as they keep making his life a misery from dusk till dawn.
Another element that manages to keep this novel entertaining is the fact that while Uncle Harry is trying to unsuccessfully stay of the two little devils, he is also trying to romance a young female whom he met there. The poor man?s attempts to impress the young lady seem to be in vain, as the two little boys keep stumbling upon them and doing dangerous or ill willed acts that show the obvious helplessness of Harry.
The two boys keep climbing and getting out of high windows, one of them drinks two bottles of poison, and the list of devilish things goes on. Harry can hardly wait to go to bed every night to get away from the continuous torment the two nephews put him through.
Helen?s Babies is a lecture that will please children and adults alike, and its timelessness is the reason why it has remained popular when other important works of literature have perished. Uncle Harry and his inability to look after the two kids will cause many readers to burst into laughter, while making them remember real life events they may have experienced.
