"Coppertop: The Queer Adventures of a Quaint Child" by Harold Gaze is a children’s fantasy novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a mischievous and imaginative young girl named Celia Anagusta Sinclair, affectionately known as Coppertop, who embarks on whimsical adventures to bring about a proper December day for her parents' homecoming from India. With her imaginary friends Tibbs and Kiddiwee, the narrative promises a colorful blend of fantasy, humor, and the challenges of youth. At the beginning of the tale, Coppertop is introduced in her four-poster bed, feeling lonesome as she awaits the arrival of her parents. Following a mysterious visit from the maid with news of their imminent return, a sense of excitement propels her into a dream-like adventure as she determines to find a fine December day. The opening chapters portray Coppertop's whimsical perspective on life, the enchanting nature of her imagination, and her initial encounters with a sentient Book of Travels that promises grand adventures. The narrative establishes an engaging and lighthearted tone that sets the stage for her adventures against a backdrop of childhood longing and creativity.
