The Corner House is a novel written by Fred Merrick White and first published in 1906. The story is set in London and revolves around a group of characters who live in a large house on a street corner, hence the title. The main character is a young woman named Mildred Arkell, who moves into the house with her father, a retired army officer. The other residents of the house include a doctor, a lawyer, a journalist, and a wealthy businessman.As the story unfolds, the characters become embroiled in a series of mysteries and intrigues. Mildred is pursued by a wealthy and unscrupulous suitor, while the doctor becomes involved in a high-profile murder case. The lawyer and the journalist work together to uncover a conspiracy involving a corrupt politician and a group of shady businessmen.Throughout the novel, White weaves together multiple storylines and characters, all of whom are connected in some way to the Corner House. The book is a classic example of the ""sensation novel"" genre, popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which combined elements of mystery, romance, and social commentary.Overall, The Corner House is a gripping and entertaining read, filled with suspense, intrigue, and unexpected twists and turns. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of turn-of-the-century London and the complex social and political dynamics of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
