Book Overview

The Fiddler's House is a play written by Padraic Colum in 1907. The play is divided into three acts and tells the story of a family living in a small Irish village. The family is struggling to make ends meet, and the father, who is a fiddler, is forced to sell his beloved instrument to pay off debts. The play explores themes of poverty, family relationships, and the importance of tradition and culture.
