"Fibble, D.D." by Irvin S. Cobb is a humorous fiction work written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows the misadventures of the protagonist, the Rev. Roscoe Titmarsh Fibble, a young curate who struggles to connect with his parish's youth through a proposed outdoor club. His earnest attempts at fostering camaraderie lead him into various comedic situations that highlight the challenges of guiding a group of lively boys. The opening of the book introduces Dr. Fibble as he expresses his reluctance to recount the unfortunate circumstances that led to his departure from St. Barnabas', where he had assumed charge of organizing a boys' outing club. He reflects on his awkward endeavor to engage the youth in well-meaning but ineffective activities, leading to disastrous outcomes during a camping trip with the boys. As he attempts to impart lessons and organize their escapades, he is met with chaos and personal calamities, setting the tone for the humor and social commentary woven throughout the story.
