Stories By English Authors In London is a collection of short stories written by various English authors. The stories are set in London and capture the essence of the city, its people, and their lives. Each story is unique, and the authors have used different writing styles to bring out the characters and the settings. The book is a blend of mystery, romance, and drama, and it offers a glimpse into the lives of people living in London during the late 19th and early 20th century. Some of the stories included in this collection are The Man Who Would Manage, The Mystery Of The Felwyn Tunnel, The Story Of Baelbrow, The Philosopher In The Apple Orchard, and many more. The book is a must-read for those who love short stories and want to experience the charm of London through the eyes of different writers.A dark, desolate December night, a night that clung to the metropolis like a wet black shroud, a night in which the heavy, low-hanging vapours melted every now and then into a slow, reluctant rain, cold as icicle-drops in a rock cavern. People passed and repassed in the streets like ghosts in a bad dream; the twinkling gas-light showed them at one moment rising out of the fog, and then disappearing from view as though suddenly engulfed in a vaporous ebon sea. With muffled, angry shrieks, the metropolitan trains deposited their shoals of shivering, coughing travelers at the several stations, where sleepy officials, rendered vicious by the weather, snatched the tickets from their hands with offensive haste and roughness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
