Odd Folks (1897)

By Opie Read and Opie Percival Read

Book Overview

Odd Folks is a collection of short stories written by Opie Read and published in 1897. The book is a humorous and lighthearted look at the quirks and eccentricities of everyday people. Each story focuses on a different character or group of characters, from a man who is convinced he is a chicken to a group of bachelors who decide to adopt a baby. Despite their oddities, the characters are portrayed with warmth and affection, and the stories are filled with humor and wit. The book is a charming snapshot of turn-of-the-century America and a testament to the enduring appeal of human foibles and follies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
