The Mouse Trap and Other Farces is a collection of comedic plays written by William Dean Howells. The book includes four short plays: The Mouse Trap, The Elevator, The Garroters, and Five O'Clock Tea. Each play features a humorous storyline and witty dialogue. The Mouse Trap follows the misadventures of a group of people attempting to catch a mouse in a hotel room. The Elevator centers around a dysfunctional elevator that causes chaos for its passengers. The Garroters is a satire of the sensational news media of the late 19th century. Five O'Clock Tea pokes fun at the social conventions of upper-class society. Overall, The Mouse Trap and Other Farces is a lighthearted and entertaining read that showcases Howells' talent for comedic writing.1889. Illustrated. Howells was an American realist author.
