About this book
We rely on your support to help us keep producing beautiful, free, and unrestricted editions of literature for the digital age. Will you support our efforts with a donation ? W. W. Jacobs was a prolific writer of short stories. His topics were typically humorous and nautical in nature, but they weren't exclusively so. This anthology includes some of his most famous short stories, including "The Monkey's Paw," a story of the supernatural in which a monkey's hand grants three wishes to its owner, but at huge cost. W. W. Jacobs (died 1943) was an influential writer of the modernist period. Their work has endured across generations and continues to be read and studied worldwide. As a work of classic literary fiction, The Lady Of The Barge exemplifies the narrative craft and social insight that defined great storytelling of its era. Literary fiction of this period was characterized by careful attention to character psychology, social milieu, and the moral questions that animated public discourse.
