The Country Cousin: A Comedy In Four Acts is a play written by Booth Tarkington. The story revolves around a young man named Stuyvesant, who is a wealthy and sophisticated city dweller. Stuyvesant travels to the countryside to visit his cousin, Harvey, who is a simple and naive farmer. The two cousins have very different lifestyles and personalities, and their interactions lead to a series of humorous and unexpected events.As the play progresses, Stuyvesant becomes enamored with Harvey's sister, Rena, and tries to win her affection. However, Rena is more interested in a local farmer named Jim. Stuyvesant's attempts to impress Rena and fit in with the rural community lead to several comical mishaps, including a disastrous hunting trip and a failed attempt at milking cows.The play also explores themes of class differences and the clash between urban and rural lifestyles. Despite their differences, Stuyvesant and Harvey learn to appreciate and respect each other's way of life.Overall, The Country Cousin: A Comedy In Four Acts is a lighthearted and entertaining play that offers a humorous look at the clash between city and country life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
