Description
William Wymark Jacobs is one of the most popular English humor writers of the early 20th century.
Most of Jacobs’s stories are devoted to the sea. His characters, forever landing in comic situations, are trusting boatswains and drunken sailors, old captains and young boys—juniors.
His elegant style, unexpected endings, and subtle, purely English humor won recognition from J. C. Jerome, G. K. Chesterton, P. G. Wodehouse, J. B. Priestley—and the writer himself earned the nickname “The Port O’Henry.”
CONTENTS:
1. Benefit
2. Distant Relative
3. It’s All About the Dress
4. Admiral Peters
5. The Passenger
6. The Comb Meets Its Match
7. Sonny
