Summary "Back to the Woods: The Story of a Fall from Grace" by Hugh McHugh is a humorous novel written in the early 20th century. The book follows the misadventures of the protagonist, John Henry, as he navigates the challenges of making a life and home with his wife, Clara J., while dealing with the repercussions of his gambling habits and the complications of family dynamics. The story captures the comedic essence of domestic life against a backdrop of aspirations for a simpler, more pastoral existence. In the narrative, John Henry’s attempts to establish his household are thwarted by his gambling losses at the racetrack. Desperate to maintain his facade, he concocts an elaborate scheme to impress Clara J. by pretending to have purchased a country home, sinking him deeper into trouble when the truth threatens to unravel. His friend Bunch Jefferson adds to the chaos with his own antics, including a comical misunderstanding about a telegram that leads to unexpected guests arriving at their home. The plot unfolds with a series of humorous twists and turns, revealing the lengths to which John Henry will go to uphold his reputation and tackle the mischief that ensues from his deceptive schemes, ultimately leading to a light-hearted resolution that emphasizes the importance of family and honesty.
