Summary "The Wallypug of Why" by G. E. Farrow is a children's fantasy novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a young girl named Girlie who, feeling lonely, embarks on a whimsical adventure to discover the meaning of various peculiar creatures and questions, particularly the mysterious "Goo," with the help of her talking doll, Dumpsey Deazil. As she navigates strange landscapes filled with quirky characters, both amusing and absurd, she encounters the titular Wallypug and participates in the silly yet thought-provoking discussions at the land of Why. At the start of the adventure, Girlie is feeling sad and bored while waiting for her brothers, leading to a chance encounter with her animated doll, who offers to take her to the land of Why. Upon their travel, Girlie meets various comical characters, including the King’s Minstrel and a talking Fish, and engages in absurd dialogues filled with wordplay and humorous misunderstandings about etiquette and social interactions. The narrative introduces engaging, playful situations that spark curiosity and encourage young readers to ponder whimsical concepts, setting a lighthearted tone for her quest to uncover the identity of the enigmatic Goo.
