520			_a"Babylon, Volume 1" by Grant Allen is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story introduces readers to two young boys, Hiram Winthrop from rural America and Colin Churchill from rural England, as they navigate their lives filled with dreams of art and adventure against the backdrop of their contrasting upbringings and social conditions. The opening of the book paints a vivid picture of Hiram's frustrating life on a desolate farm in Geauga County, where he is frequently chastised by his domineering father, Deacon Winthrop. As he seeks refuge in the beauty of the blackberry lot nearby, Hiram’s artistic inclinations begin to emerge, symbolized by his secret sketchbook and a deep appreciation for nature. Meanwhile, Colin Churchill is introduced as he enjoys playful moments with his friend Minna in the picturesque Dorset fields, showcasing a budding talent for sculpting clay figures. The juxtaposition of their environments and family dynamics foreshadows the themes of creativity, dissatisfaction with their respective circumstances, and the quest for self-identity that develop throughout the narrative.
