Sobre este e-book
A raconteur in a bucolic English pub tells tall tales in this fiction collection from "arguably the greatest writer of comic prose ever" ( The New York Times).
A Scotch in hand, Mr. Mulliner gathers a crowd around him at Angler's Rest tavern—each story the old fisherman tells more amazing than the last—and all of them about members of his own sprawling family. There's the tale of the nephew who gave up smoking to win a woman's hand, the woman who nearly came between two childhood friends, the cousin who had a snake delivered on a silver tray, and more. Throughout, Mr. Mulliner keeps command of his drinking companions attention with his amusing yarns stories that could only have come from the deftly comic hand of the inimitable P. G. Wodehouse.
"A genius . . . Elusive, delicate, but lasting." —Alan Ayckbourn
"The very definition of British humor." — Entertainment Weekly
"One has to regard a man as a Master who can produce on average three uniquely brilliant and entirely original similes on each page." —Evelyn Waugh
