Publisher's Synopsis
Twelve Adventures at Sea From the Author of THE MONKEY'S PAW -- W.W. Jacobs is mostly remembered nowadays as the author of "The Monkey's Paw"; some folks recall that he also wrote other weird fiction. But the truth is that he was quite a versatile author -- Short Cruises isn't his only volume of sea fiction; and he wrote others as well. Included in this volume are "The Changeling," "Mixed Relations," "His Lordship," "Alf's Dream," "A Distant Relative," "The Test 83," "In the Family," "A Love-Knot," "Her Uncle," "The Dreamer," "Angels' Visits," and "A Circular Tour."
