About the author

William Wymark Jacobs was an English author of short stories and novels. Quite popular in his lifetime primarily for his amusing maritime tales of life along the London docks (many of them humorous as well as sardonic in tone). Today he is best known for a few short works of horror fiction. One being "The Monkey's Paw"(published 1902). It has in its own right become a well-known and widely anthologized classic.

من الأخر و بمنتهى العامية ؛ في رجال بتبقي غبية في اختيار طريقة تلفت بها نظر الست .
و جايكوب العجوز اللطيف واحد منهم .. مسرحية لطيفة .

مسرحية مملة لا ينصح بها

Kinda blah. I decent short story but nothing to write home about. I probably will forget I read it in a day or two.

Short play by the author of The Monkey's Paw. My copy is over one hundred years old. One of my most cherished possessions.
