The Young Visiters

The Young Visiters is a charming, unintentional satire of upper-class British society, written by Daisy Ashford when she was just nine years old. The manuscript, full of spelling mistakes and childlike grammar, was discovered years later and published in its original form, with a preface by J. M. Barrie (author of Peter Pan). Despite its naïve storytelling, the novel satirizes Victorian society in a way that makes it both hilarious and insightful. It has remained a cult classic for over a century, loved for its unintentional humor and childlike sincerity. The novel follows Alfred Salteena, a middle-class man with high social ambitions, and his journey to become a gentleman so he can impress the woman he loves, Ethel Monticue.
