Bertie Pollock is a character in The World According to Bertie and other novels in the 44 Scotland Street series by Alexander McCall Smith. Bertie, "an endearing 7-year-old boy," has been described as the "most beloved character" in McCall Smith's novels.[1] Bertie is "a polite and solemn 7-year-old boy with a devoted and gentle father and a thoroughly nasty mother" in a series of novels in which Smith satirizes the conceits of woke feminism embodied by Bertie's mother, one of the "breed of feminists who despise men," according to reviewer Muriel Dobson.[2] In Bertie's Guide to Life and Mothers (2013) 7-year-old Bertie wants a penknife for his birthday, but his militantly feminist mother gives him a gender neutral doll, which the well-bred Bertie must pretend to like.[3] Irene "insists on imposing her worldview on everyone with whom she comes in contact, but most especially on poor Bertie, who simply wants to play with other boys, join the Boy Scouts, go camping and fishing, and someday perhaps get a Swiss Army knife."[4]
