Summary "The Daft Days" by Neil Munro is a comedic novel written in the early 20th century. This work encapsulates the quirky, whimsical atmosphere of New Year's Day in a Scottish town, depicting the joyous celebrations and the eccentric characters that emerge during this time, reflecting the customs and traditions of the era. The story unfolds on New Year’s Day, centering around the Dyce family, who are excitedly preparing for the arrival of a nephew from America. The narrative introduces a myriad of lively characters, including the mischievous maid Kate and the endearing uncle Dan Dyce, who displays a humorous and carefree disposition. As the family prepares for the festivities, amusing and chaotic events ensue, culminating in the unexpected arrival of their niece, who turns out to be a young girl rather than the expected boy.
