Type: COLLECTION
Webpages: librivox.org
Language: English
Note: Eight stories originally published in Harper's Weekly, 1891 to 1893. At least the first edition (American Story-Tellers series) includes the original illustrations, if any, and no others, reproduced as full-page. Most or all by A. B. Frost. Bangs was humor editor of multiple Harper magazines from 1889 to 1900 -- Wikipedia "contains his best work" -- SFE: Encyclopedia of Fantasy (1997)
Synopsis: "In novels like [Toppleton's Client (1893)] – and in collections like The Water Ghost and Others (coll 1894), which contains his best work, Ghosts I Have Met and Some Others (coll 1898) and Over the Plum Pudding (coll 1901) – JKB attempted to master a comically debunking style of fantasy which was like that of Mark Twain in its occasional savagery (though lacking Twain's profundity or wit) and like that of L Frank Baum in the spoof literalism of some of its plots (though never to magic effect, as in Oz)." -- SFE: Encyclopedia of Fantasy (1997)
