Four Pigeons

W. Jacobs W.

Description

In this charming story from W. W. Jacobs, a pub denizen spins a yarn about a shooting party that went horribly awry. Though best remembered for his macabre tale "The Monkey's Paw," Jacobs' true literary strength is in his ability to concoct memorable salt-of-the-earth characters.
