Billy and Lord Byron is a coming-of-age story, or Bildungsroman, focusing on the development of an eighteen-year-old boy, Billy, from youth to adulthood, through the care and healing of an injured crow he discovers while at his summer job digging ditches.

It addresses issues of self-development as he prepares to go off to college and portends the author's cultivation of a life-long study of ornithology.Billy and Lord Byron is a coming-of-age story, or Bildungsroman, focusing on the development of an eighteen-year-old boy, Billy, from youth to adulthood, through the care and healing of an injured crow he discovers while at his summer job digging ditches.
