The Lady of the Barge

W. W. Jacobs

The Lady of the Barge — This edition gathers twelve W. W. Jacobs stories set among barges, sailors, villages, and country houses. Alongside the title story’s humor, misunderstandings, and romantic rivalries are darker tales of crime, ghosts, and dangerous wishes, including The Monkey’s Paw and The Well. The collection moves deftly between comic social observation and supernatural unease.
