Although not conceived of as a novel at its inception, it was termed one by the foreword of the 2022 ebook edition, which was put together by [[Aristide Twain]]. Although she was not the main character, [[Jenny Everywhere]], in several incarnations, recurred several times through the book. | ||
Instead of any singular narrative, ''Our Strange and Wonderful House'' was made up of a series of vignettes describing, or centering on, various areas of the titular sentient, impossibly vast, shifting [[The Strange and Wonderful House|House]]. Many, though by no means all, of its Chapters and Appendices were written in the second person, putting the reader in the shoes of an otherwise-unseen visitor exploring the house. We have elected not to give character pages to these figures, so as to avoid having to make judgment calls about the degree to which the "Yous" of various individual parts should be considered the same continuous character. | Instead of any singular narrative, ''Our Strange and Wonderful House'' was made up of a series of vignettes describing, or centering on, various areas of the titular sentient, impossibly vast, shifting [[The Strange and Wonderful House|House]].
