Description

"The Lady of the Barge and Others, Entire Collection" by W. W. Jacobs is an anthology of short stories published in 1902. This collection weaves together tales of cunning schemes, dark crimes, and surprising twists in English village life. From a loose tiger terrorizing a town to a murder in a gentleman's library, Jacobs crafts stories where nothing is quite as it seems. Characters face moral dilemmas, clever deceptions, and unexpected consequences in these Victorian-era tales of mystery and human nature. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
