"The Young Visiters or, Mr. Salteena's Plan" by Daisy Ashford is a novel written in 1890 and published in 1919. Written when Ashford was just nine years old, this charming tale follows 42-year-old Alfred Salteena's ambitious plan to become a gentleman with help from the aristocratic Earl of Clincham.

The story's appeal lies in its juvenile innocence and unconventional spelling, becoming a surprising bestseller that sparked rumors of being an elaborate literary hoax.
