Tobermory abounds in the irony for which its author, Saki, is well known and admired. Along with the other short stories in this first-rate anthology, it showcases the talents of a renowned British writer.\u003cbr\u003eOther stories include Anthony Trollope's The Parson's Daughter of Oxney Colne, a subtle study of the psychological cost of maintaining self-esteem; Thomas Hardy's The Fiddler of the Reels, in which a village girl is seduced by the beguiling melodies of a diabolical musician; and M. R. James's Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My Lad, the tale of a vacationing professor who conjures up the unexpected with an artifact from a ruined medieval church. The Haunted House, by Charles Dickens, and Rudyard Kipling's story of a golden-haired ghost, The Phantom 'Rickshaw, also venture into the supernatural. Additional selections include D. H. Lawrence's The Prussian Officer, H. G. Wells's Under the Knife, and Robert Louis Stevenson's A Lodging for the Night, plus stories by John Galsworthy, Wilkie Collins, and others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Negri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0486440907\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486440903\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.34h x 5.24w x 0.58d","brand":"Paul Negri","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047760130303,"sku":"9780486440903","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e5c38dcc-5dd8-45bf-8f7e-ac3206bb3f83.jpg?v=1684992029","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/great-english-short-stories-paul-negri-9780486440903","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
