Told After Supper

Told After Supper is a collection of humorous short stories by the renowned British author, Jerome K. Jerome. The book is set in the Victorian era and is narrated by a group of friends who gather together after dinner to tell ghost stories. However, instead of spine-chilling tales, they end up sharing hilarious anecdotes and witty observations about life.The stories cover a range of topics, from the absurdity of modern technology to the eccentricities of the British upper class. One story, for example, satirizes the trend of s�����ances and spiritualism that was popular during the time, while another pokes fun at the pretensions of the nouveau riche.Throughout the book, Jerome's wit and humor shine through, making for an entertaining and lighthearted read. The stories are also interspersed with amusing illustrations by Kenneth M. Skeaping, adding to the overall charm of the book.Overall, Told After Supper is a delightful collection of humorous stories that will appeal to fans of classic British humor and anyone looking for a good laugh.(Do not ask me how it is that I recollect his own exact words-- whether I took them down in shorthand at the time, or whether he had the story written out, and handed me the MS. afterwards for publication in this book, because I should not tell you if you did. It is a trade secret.)This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
