About This Book

A comic one-act folk play set in a wooded lakeside clearing follows a tipsy fiddler who, after pawning his violin, agrees to accept money to sabotage a growing attachment between a local woman and a rival suitor so another man might secure her and her savings. The drama assembles a small cast of competing suitors, gossip, song, drinking and petty scheming, using rustic humor and social satire to reveal vanity, financial motives and the foibles of provincial life.
