About this ebook
Complete and unabridged. A young couple, unable to afford a house, buy a derelict canal boat and set up in it — with a hired girl of alarming competence, a dog, a boarder, and eventually a burglar. Stockton was a wood engraver before he wrote The Lady, or the Tiger?, the most argued-over story in American literature; this 1879 book was his first success, and Pomona, the servant who reads sensation novels and acts on them, is one of the great comic creations. Its 67 original illustrations have been carefully restored and coloured for this edition.
