Book Description

This is John Kendrick Bangs' 1897 novel, “The Pursuit of the House-Boat”. A deceased Sherlock Holmes is employed by the Associated Shades club to help them after the House-Boat has been commandeered by the nefarious Captain Kidd. An amusing and entertaining detective romp set in the afterlife, “The Pursuit of the House-Boat” constitutes a must-read for lovers of quirky fiction and is not to be missed by fans of Bang's work. John Kendrick Bangs (1862–1922) was an American editor, author, and satirist. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

Book Description

On the eve of his departure for Manila, where he is shortly to begin the publication of a comic paper, my friend Mr. Horace Wilkinson, late literary adviser of Messrs. Hawkins, Wilkes & Speedway, the publishers, sent to me the following pages of manuscript with the request that I should have them published for the benefit of those whom the story may concern. I have cheerfully accepted the commission, desiring it to be distinctly understood, however, that I am in no sense responsible for Mr. Wilkinson's statements either of fact or of opinion. I am merely the medium through whom his explanation is brought to the public eye.
