Charles Everett Hall
Best remembered for a lively 1918 comic novel, this early 20th-century writer leaned into farce, romantic mix-ups, and the kind of honeymoon chaos that keeps pages turning. Little biographical information survives, which gives the work itself an extra touch of mystery.

Some honeymoon!
by Charles Everett Hall
About the author
Very little about this author’s life could be confirmed from reliable online sources. What can be verified is that Charles Everett Hall wrote Some Honeymoon!, originally published in New York by George Sully & Company in 1918.
That novel has found a modern afterlife through Project Gutenberg, where it is described as an early 20th-century romantic comedy with strong farcical elements. The story follows a whirlwind marriage and a honeymoon that quickly collapses into confusion, business-minded improvisation, and a run of comic disasters.
Because so little dependable background information is readily available, Hall is best approached through the tone of his surviving work: light, energetic, and playful. For listeners who enjoy vintage humor, social comedy, and old-fashioned misadventures, his fiction offers a small but curious rediscovery.
