Large ImageDescription
Living in London on a very slender salary is no fun, in particular when that leaves too little to eat properly, perhaps just a little bread and cheese at night. One day there is only enough money left to order the soup of a three course meal and, for lack of substance, to add generous amounts of mint. That this could leave anyone feeling despondent is not surprising. And perhaps we would give vent to our feelings of wretchedness by expressing a death wish. But what if you were really faced with Death?
45 amusing and unusual stories with many original illustrations take the reader on a whirlwind tour of the 19th century: from a funny ghost to tiger hunts in India, from social drama in Britain and America to tales of death and mystery in France. Jokes, legal anecdotes, strange customs, comedy and the supernatural make for an exhilarating experience.
