by Henry Edward Warner

'That House I Bought' is a charming and witty account of the author's experiences purchasing a home in the early 1900s. Written with a lighthearted and often satirical tone, Warner chronicles the joys and tribulations of navigating the world of real estate, from finding the perfect property to dealing with contractors and settling into a new home. The book offers a glimpse into the everyday life of a middle-class individual during this period, infused with wry observations and humorous anecdotes.
