Danny's house is a shabby wooden structure covered with flaking whitewash overgrown with an untrimmed rose of Castile, a rickety porch with rocking chairs, and an overgrown, garbage-strewn back yard. Nevertheless, this property in the poor Tortilla Flat section of Monterey, CA, is, according to the Preface, a place of "sweetness and joy, philanthropy and, in the end, a mystic sorrow," not unlike the mythic Round Table.
