| Summary | "Helen's Babies" by John Habberton is a novel written in the late 19th century." The story presents a humorous account that explores the interactions between Uncle Harry, a bachelor and salesman, and his mischievous nephews, Budge and Toddie, during a fortnight's stay at his sister Helen's home while she and her husband are away. The narrative aims to capture the delightful chaos that ensues with young children, showcasing their imagination and varied antics that keep Uncle Harry on his toes. "At the start of "Helen's Babies," Harry Burton receives a letter from his sister inviting him to stay with her two young boys." Harry initially prepares for a peaceful retreat in the countryside but quickly realizes that the children, dubbed "the Imps," are more of a handful than he anticipated. The opening chapters detail his humorous struggles to manage Budge and Toddie's wild nature, from their imaginative play and insistence on seeing the inner workings of his watch to their chaotic mealtime antics. Harry's interactions with the children set the tone for a lighthearted exploration of family, childhood innocence, and the unexpected joys and challenges of babysitting.
