Omschrijving

A sparkling glimpse into Edwardian England that still sparks and surprises. Dialstone Lane, Part 4., with W. W. Jacobs's wit and warmth, invites readers to spot the small follies and grand pretensions that knit a London suburb into a living, breathing character. This complete short stories collection, presented with care, offers a frank, humorous look at social class, money and pride, and the wry miscommunications that colour married life. The tone blends brisk humour with astute social observation, delivering classic literature fans a satisfying fusion of charm and bite. Readers new to the era will feel the era's ambience-British manners, neighbourhood rhythms, and a world where good intentions collide with everyday cleverness. Dialstone Lane's significance rests in its craft as a quintessential Edwardian Britain piece: a masterclass in social satire that remains as relevant as ever, with sharp plotting and expressive dialogue that sings aloud on the page. This edition speaks to casual readers and to collectors alike, offering more than nostalgia: a doorway to a vanished city through Jacobs's humane, companionable storytelling. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. An illustrated edition that honours the text while inviting new admirers to discover a complete, beloved cycle of stories in a London suburb setting.
