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."

"Drawing on a mass of contemporary material spanning four millennia, this book follows the merchant seaman ashore and afloat through the typical vicissitudes of his exotic but uncertain life. Although it is an unsentimental 'warts and all' portrayal, it is nevertheless an affectionate valedictory tribute to a lifestyle that has almost vanished."--Amazon.
