About this book

Charles-Norton Sims has an awkward habit: whenever restlessness takes hold, he begins flapping his arms like a bird. His wife Dolly catches him at it during his morning exercises, and he tries to explain it away. On his way to work, memories of a circus, railway travels and a voyage to Tahiti reveal how often this strange impulse has preceded a break with ordinary life.

James Hopper's comic novel, published in 1909, turns that longing for freedom into a fantasy involving actual wings. The scenes range from the couple's small New York flat to a mountain lake where Charles-Norton swims, fishes and flies, while Dolly sits desolate in their flat. Domestic affection and the urge to escape pull against each other.
