Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a rural farce set in the fictional village of Plunket, in which the author employs caricature and rustic characters to skewer small-town mores and early 20th-century American culture more broadly. An episodic plot follows the village's preparation for its first Old Home Day, an event which serves as a catalyst for a hilarious and absurd series of mishaps involving the town's quirky inhabitants. At its core, the book decries the increasing pace of life in the early 20th century and the loss of traditional values, which is presented as the cause of many of these mishaps. This book should appeal to readers interested in rustic farces and the depiction of early 1900s American village life.
