Jerome, Jerome K.: John Ingerfield & Other Stories (Illustrated). v1. 18 June 2012
By the author of “Three Men in a Boat,” “Three Men on the Bummel,” “Diary of a Pilgrimage,” “Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow,” “Stage-Land,” etc. ~~~ First published 1894.
Five short pieces from the imaginative pen of Jerome K. Jerome, three of them serious and two light and amusing. In Remembrance of John Ingerfield, and of Anne, His Wife: A marriage of convenience metamorphoses into a union of true love The Woman of the Sæter: An author living on a lonely Norwegian mountainside finds himself haunted by a vengeful woman — or is he simply going mad? Variety Patter: A reminiscence of teenaged dabblings in decadence, including cigars, scotch whiskey, and (gasp!) music hall entertainment Silhouettes: Dark and sometimes violent events seen through the uncomprehending eyes of a young boy The Lease of the “Cross Keys”: A gin-tippling reporter gets a well-intentioned Bishop embroiled in a misunderstanding with his superior ------ An excerpt from “Variety Patter” Quote:
Nine full-page illustrations. Decorative fonts for chapter-heads, drop-caps, and tail decorations. (Plain-cap version uses large caps rather than drop-caps.)
