Summary

"Nooks and Corners" by J. E. Panton is a handbook from the 1800s that acts as a follow-up to another book, giving advice on how to take care of a house as a family obtains a bigger space; it follows a couple named Edwin and Angelina as they deal with the difficulties of relocating and converting a house into a home. The book begins with thoughts on the effect of relocating, covering both the emotional toll of leaving a loved home behind and the real-world issues that arise, while offering observations on things people should think about before relocating, such as staying in touch with the community and expressing one's own sense of style to design a beautiful, comfortable living space. Panton writes about the mental health effects of a new place, giving tips on picking new homes, handling all your stuff when you move, and setting the stage for a deep look at how to make a house a home.
