About this book
Clark's Field is by Robert Herrick, and a first-person narrator says "I am not fond of my native town, although I lived in the place until I was seventeen or eighteen years old." Clark's Field is said to be "of no positive value to the Clarks, and indeed an increasing source of expense and anxiety to the impoverished family, as taxes rose in company with the rise of all values." A character named John is "nothing but a seedy, middle-aged clerk" who "had a small swagger of superiority in the gas office."
The text says Archie and Adelle "were not vicious, though Archie drank too much for his digestion and was often peevish in consequence." The text speaks of a date "when all the riches of Clark's Field, now accumulating in the trust company's pool, should be handed over to them." The narrator says "the puddle and pit were all that was left of our mysterious playground."
