Green Overcoat

Green Overcoat

by Hilaire Belloc

In Hilaire Belloc's "Green Overcoat," Professor Higginson, a thin, shy, and nervous psychologist, finds himself embroiled in a series of humorous misadventures when he encounters a green overcoat that seemingly holds a sinister power. The overcoat, a symbol of his own anxieties and fears, becomes a catalyst for a series of comical encounters and absurd situations, ultimately leading him to confront his inner demons and ultimately find a measure of peace and self-acceptance. The novel, brimming with wit and charm, is a delightful exploration of human foibles and the absurdity of everyday life.
