On a rain-soaked afternoon en route to the races, a young man meets a horse that talks, the first of many droll, uncanny happenings in a garland of Victorian comic fantasies.

F. Anstey's 1892 collection gathers witty, whimsical fantasy tales from a master of the comic supernatural. Light, clever, charming. Read it for delightful Victorian humor of the impossible, talking animals, magical mishaps, and genial absurdities, from the popular author of Vice Versa, whose gentle fantasy comedies delighted a whole era.
