A Blundering Boy: A Humorous Story
by Bruce Weston Munro
About the author
Bruce Weston Munro was a late-19th-century author listed as born in 1860. Surviving catalog records and digital editions connect him with humorous writing, including A Blundering Boy: A Humorous Story and Groans and Grins of One Who Survived.
A Blundering Boy, published in 1887, is a comic novel about a mischievous but good-hearted boy named Will. Modern cataloging also places Munro's work within American and Canadian literature, which fits the Toronto publication of that novel and the later Washington publication of Groans and Grins of One Who Survived in 1893.
Little biographical detail seems easy to confirm from reliable online sources, so his books tell most of the story: Munro wrote with a playful, accessible style and a clear affection for youthful misadventure, humor, and light verse. For readers who enjoy older comic fiction, he comes across as an entertaining rediscovery rather than a heavily documented literary figure.
