Featuring five works of extraordinary short fiction, John Ingerfield:
And Other Stories is an unforgettable collection that textualizes the
aspects of human nature that are often left unspoken while exploring
nostalgia and the macabre. In The Woman of Saeter, an uneventful
hunting trip turns into a spooky experience when two men are forced to
take shelter in a mysterious hut in the woods. With a similar tone,
Silhouettes is a frightening recollection of an eerie marshland near
the sea, haunted by the dead, monsters, and shadows. Depicting a less
chilling childhood memory, Variety Platter is a story of an
unforgettable Christmas. While the supernatural and unexpected burn
themselves into memory, odd characters have a similar effect. The Lease
of the Cross Key follows a Bishop and an unconventional reporter as
they prepare for a celebratory service. Finally, the first and title
story of the collection, The Remembrance of John Ingerfield, and of
Anne, His Wife depicts a man whose life revolved around making money.
Written with stunning description and impressive prose, John
Ingerfield: And Other Stories by Jerome K. Jerome is a collection of
short fiction, featuring romance, comedy, and even paranormal activity.
With ghost stories, legends, and childhood memories, each narrative is
captivating and highly impressionable. Slightly deviating from Jerome K.
Jerome's usual humorous tone, these stories are dramatic with subtle
hints of comedy, crafting a unique reading experience. First published
in 1894, this 19th century collection demonstrates the best of Jerome's
literary ability, possessing a strong aesthetic that has remained to be
fascinating and compelling.
This edition of John Ingerfield: And Other Stories by Jerome K. Jerome
is presented in an easy-to-read font and features an eye-catching new
cover design. With these accommodations, this edition is accessible and
appealing to contemporary audiences, restoring Jerome K Jerome's work to
modern standards while preserving the original wit and charm of John
Ingerfield: And Other Stories.
