The Skipper's Wooing, and The Brown Man's Servant

This pair of novellas from author W. W. Jacobs will please fans of both his horror and his humor. The Skipper's Wooing is an uproariously hilarious account of the courtship between one Captain Wilson and his beloved Annis Gething. The Brown Man's Servant finds Jacobs delving into the uncanny, in the vein of his most enduring tale, "The Monkey's Paw."
