"Elbow-Room: A Novel Without a Plot" by Charles Heber Clark is a funny story placed in the late 1800's. It's more about making you laugh than telling a serious story. The book takes place in a quirky village, likely Millburg, with odd people dealing with life. The book starts by talking about "elbow-room" as a way of saying people feel free in less crowded places. Then we meet Mr. and Mrs. Fogg, who struggle hilariously with their baby, leading to funny problems at home. When Mr. Fogg tries using mesmerism to calm his baby, things go wrong and sets the stage for many funny adventures.
