John Kendrick Bangs

Jack and the Check Book (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Mr. Bangs turns his light and ingenious fancy to the task of retelling the familiar fairy tales of our youthful days. In several of them it is Wall Street that replaces the land of 'Never-Never' and 'Once Upon a Time,' and the personages in the drama are more interested in high finance than in fairy treasures. It is all admirable fooling, and done in the author's best vein.
