Outside, the night is cold and wet. Inside, the White family sits and waits. Where is their visitor? There is a knock at the door. A man is standing outside in the dark. Their visitor has arrived. The visitor waits. He has been in India for many years. What has he got? He has brought the hand of a small, dead animal - a monkey's paw. Outside, in the dark, the visitor smiles and waits for the door to open.

W. W. Jacobs was a prolific writer of short stories. His topics were typically humorous and nautical in nature, but they weren't exclusively so. This anthology includes some of his most famous short stories, including "The Monkey's Paw," a story of the supernatural in which a monkey's hand grants three wishes to its owner, but at huge cost.
