Summary "The Catspaw of Piperock" by W. C. Tuttle is a humorous novel written in the early 20th century. Set during the Christmas season, it revolves around the misadventures of two eccentric characters, Ike Harper and Dirty Shirt Jones, as they navigate life in the small town of Piperock, which is characterized by its quirks and colorful residents. The story is likely to focus on themes of redemption, community, and the humorous chaos that can arise during festive occasions. The narrative follows Ike Harper and Dirty Shirt Jones as they find themselves in a series of comical situations while attempting to support a local church by raffling off Dirty Shirt's newly acquired automobile. Amidst their attempts at good deeds and wearing silly costumes for a Christmas show, the characters deal with their reluctant but humorous embrace of community spirit, intertwined with moments of impending mischief from the townsfolk of Piperock and the neighboring towns. As the story unfolds, misunderstandings, unexpected prize winners, and a calamity involving a steer and a camel turn the town’s festive gathering into an uproarious affair, highlighting Tuttle’s skill in blending humor with rustic charm and quick wit.
