About this ebook
Stories and novellas - an old woman's wig, a chess player, a Whitechapel courtship. Zangwill wrote these across twenty years and the title story is among the best short things in late Victorian English. This edition adds a gallery of 58 plates bound with the text, with paintings by William Logsdail, Théophile Steinlen, William Mitchell and Charles Conder, and subjects ranging from an Antwerp fishmarket to the Greek theatre at Taormina.
