Episode 1:Impoverished and desperate, Pa Fuller's reckless bet and acquisition of a panama hat changes all. Starring James Nickerson. Episode 2: The Fullers and friends move into their new abode and soon find it a source of joy and ominous mystery. The Fullers and friends are imperilled and beguiled in equal measure, as well as adrift in time. 'If you want to get ahead, get a hat', runs the adage, and in this story runs along with the idea that Papa's new Panama is magic. This story was long before the Potteresque choosing hat. Charming story. Three hattips.
