Sinopse

Rudder Grange is a lighthearted novel first published in 1879. It follows the whimsical adventures of a married couple, Euphemia and her husband, who decide to live in a houseboat on a canal. Blending humor and domestic life, the story offers a satirical look at middle-class aspirations and eccentricities, filled with charming episodes and quirky characters. Stockton?s witty prose and playful narrative make this a delightful read that balances satire and heart.Frank Richard Stockton (1834-1902) was an American writer and humorist, best known today for a series of innovative children?s fairy tales that were widely popular during the 19th century. His most famous fable is 'The Lady, or the Tiger?' about a man sentenced to an unusual punishment for having a romance with a king?s beloved daughter. Stockton?s first major success arrived with the 1879 publication of Rudder Grange, a collection of stories based on a married couple and their servant.
