Guy Boothby (1867-1905) was one of the best known Australian authors at the turn of the nineteenth century, winning praise from the likes of George Orwell and Rudyard Kipling. The million-selling author wrote prolifically across genres with collections of short stories such as this one running the gamut from ghost story to short melodramas. Boothby's fame comes from his skilful crafting of familiar yet eccentric characters that draw you into their worlds for a brief, mesmerising adventure. Includes 18 short stories: How Grandfather Saved Captain Jack Uncle Joe's Legacy Remorseless Vengeance The Frog, The Firm, and The Fortune The Gold That Glittered Jim Burns' Trip to Europe Football at Great Tugleton The Man From New Orleans The Making of Jim Blake The Education of the Prodigal A Christmas Duel The Grey Cavalier of Penterton Hall Churton the Unlucky To Vindicate His Honour A World's Loafer The Imposter The Romance of John Farmer (Bellman) Miss Penelope Bird
