Mercer, Harold: The Foolish Gondola and other stories, v1, 10 June 2024
This is the fifth and final collection of short fiction by Harold Mercer. containing some 40 short stories, including several from the "Mrs Parsely" series set in a Sydney boarding house in the 20s and 30s. It includes the first short story he ever had published, as long ago as 1900.
I know I said the 4th volume was the last, but diligent search of newspapers and magazines turned up this collection. Sometime in the 30s or 40s he wrote his own obituary, really reminiscences of his life and times, and it is included here as the final story. And at this very late stage I have just noticed that 2 of the stories have appeared before. C'est la vie! 1: "The Flowers That Boom in the Spring" 2: Planchette 3: The Glory of France 4: Blue Blood 5: The Blessed Baby 6: Grievance 7: The Hold-Up 8: Stranded 9: Not Unwarranted 10: Sentimentalists 11: Clothes 12: Her Ruin 13: The Mind of Ah Foo. 14: The Nursery Handicap 15: The Foolish Gondola 16: The Gay Lottery 17: The Pretenders 18: The Search for the Bonzer Tart 19: Costs 20: Ingratitude. 21: Picking-up 22: The Release 23: Dr. Jenkins and Mr. 'Ides 24: Necessity After The Fact 25: The Barrackers 26: Twin Souls 27: The Dogs of War 28: The Infernal Triangle 29: The Immigration of Souls 30: Limited Debility 31: Artistic Expression 32: At the Cross-Roads 332: Vortical Language 34: Dirty Pieces of Silver 35: Human Nature Is Not Inflammable 36: The Panthon Cat 37: A Fatal Vaccination 38: The Mailed Fish 39: A Regular Punch-Us Pirate 40: The Illimitation Contest 41: “With Self-Clipped Wings" This work is assumed to be in the Life+70 public domain OR the copyright holder has given specific permission for distribution.
