About this ebook
"The House: An Episode in the Lives of Reuben Baker, Astronomer, and of His Wife, Alice" by Eugene Field is written as a biography of the titular couple. The story that Mr. Field has told portrays his genius and his humor in a new light. We have seen him scattering the germs of his wit broadcast in the newspapers but only in the story of "The House" do we find his humor so gently turned, so deftly put, and so ripe for the purpose of literary expression. This book is a relatable and witty story that will suck readers in and entertain from start to finish.
