A delightful, happy little book written in 1906. It was fresh and quirky to my modern ears. Like many older books its sentences were more complicated than we are used to these days, however it wasn’t too, too difficult to follow.

I recommend starting, as I did, knowing absolutely nothing about the book; it adds a bit of mystery and surprise. Since it’s free on the nonprofit Project Gutenberg’s website, you can abandon it if it doesn’t suit you.

If you want to know a little more, I’ll tell you this: it’s an episode in the life of a charming and odd man who briefly taught school in the past but decided he’d rather hunt for clams by the sea. We learn of his complexities and meet the funny people of the nearby countryside.

I couldn't care less about clams but it's a nice story
