Stories of W.w. Jacobs: An Index to All Volumes and Stories
Stories of W.w. Jacobs: An Index to All Volumes and Stories
This is not a collection of stories but a scholar's roadmap through one of early twentieth-century Britain's most prolific short fiction writers. W.W. Jacobs, best remembered for 'The Monkey's Paw', that devastating tale of three wishes and their terrible consequences, produced dozens of volumes spanning maritime humor, supernatural horror, and acute observations of English coastal life. This index compiles his complete output across all volumes, mapping the full terrain of his literary career from the 1890s through the 1930s. For dedicated readers, collectors, or academics seeking a specific tale, the index serves as an essential companion, revealing the breadth beneath Jacobs' singular famous reputation. Whether you're hunting for 'The Skipper's Wooing' or tracing the evolution of his macabre sensibilities across collections like 'The Monkey's Paw and Other Tales,' this annotated guide transforms what could be a daunting bibliography into something navigable and even inviting.

“I've never understood it,' continued Wilfred Carr, yawning. 'It's not in my line at all; I never had enough money for my own wants, let alone for two. Perhaps if I were as rich as you or Croesus I might regard it differently.' There was just sufficient meaning in the latter part of the remark for his cousin to forbear to reply to it. He continued to gaze out of the window and to smoke slowly. 'Not being as rich as Croesus - or you,' resumed Carr, regarding him from beneath lowered lids, 'I paddle my own canoe down the stream of Time, and, tying it to my friends' doorposts, go in to eat their dinners.' ("The Well")””
— W. W. Jacobs
