And what then is an inglenook?

So you might be won­der­ing: what then is an inglenook?

Briefly said, the inglen­ook is just a nook, like in the phrase ”all the nook and cran­nies.” In other words, a corner, a re­treat, a place to snug in. So, if for the NOOK- part things are clear, the INGLE- part is more obscure.

Read here the myth — or rather the fairy tale — of the inglenook’s gen­esis. And by its side, read the sci­ence be­hind this odd place.
