O'Ferrall, Ernest; The Lobster and the Lioness, v1, 27 April 2024
The author was a journalist, poet and writer of humorous tales for The Bulletin weekly magazine and its stabelmate literary monthly The Lone Hand. He was most active in the years between 1907 and 1920, and he died of tuberculosis in 1925 at the age of 44.
Quite a few of his tales are set in boarding houses, a form of habitation he knew very well, and often border on farce. This collection is new, and contains 36 stories. He had one collection published in his lifetime: Bodgers and the Boarders, 1921. A book of poetry and another short story collection were published posthumously. All of these stories were originally published as by "Kodak", which was his nickname. 1: Brown And The Monster 2: "The Giggle" Newspaper Company 3: The Escaped Hero 4: The Dance Amongst the Roses 5: The Policeman Who Was Kissed 6: Brown’s Inflammable Card Party 7: The Undertaker’s Hat 8: A Flood of Trouble 9: The Prophet in the Dock 10: The Lobster and the Lioness 11: When Smith Was King 12: The Eye-Witness 13: The Lost Bishop 14: The Boarder’s Revolver 15: Louis XIV and the Lodger 16: The Opium Eaters 17: The Reincarnated Cabman 18: The Eighteen-Footer 19: A Set of Furs 20: Balloons and Sausages 21: The Prompter 22: A House of Flames 23: Gold In His Teeth 24: Doing Good 25: The McSozzle Ministry 26: The Four Organists 27: The Sympathy Bureau 28: The Brothers of Mount Rest 29: A Ruined Tragedy 30: Mr. Bodger’s Joy Ride 31: Your Respected Uncle 32: "Opperashuns" 33: The Bishop and the Merry-go-Round 34: Seen in Passing 35: How The War Ended 36: A Duke in Business This work is assumed to be in the Life+70 public domain OR the copyright holder has given specific permission for distribution.
