(Frederic B.) Out of the Hurly-Burly; Or, Life in an Odd Corner E-text prepared by Juliet Sutherland, Wayne Hammond, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Out of the Hurly-Burly; Or, Life in an Odd Corner" by Charles Heber Clark is a humorous novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows the experiences of a family who has decided to leave the bustling city life in search of tranquility in a quaint village, where the protagonist reflects on the peculiarities and charming aspects of village life. The opening of the novel introduces us to the protagonist’s longing for a quieter existence, away from the chaos of city life. The narrative begins with a historical note about Peter Menuit, the founder of New Castle, setting the stage for the exploration of village existence. The protagonist shares his observations about the peace of rural living versus the relentless noise of urban life, displaying a humorous tone and keen insights into human relationships within the village community. As the protagonist describes creating a comfortable home in a small, harmoniously arranged space, he sets the stage for the comedic episodes that follow, including encounters with neighbors and amusing reflections on domestic challenges.
