About this book

In "His Other Self," a witty short story by W. W. Jacobs, readers are transported to the early 20th century, where a night-watchman's encounter with an actor seeking a sailor's likeness for the stage sets the stage for a humorous tale of mistaken identity. Delving into the themes of duality and impersonation, this engaging narrative showcases Jacobs's talent for blending humor with insightful commentary on human nature. Ideal for literature enthusiasts and students of comedic storytelling, "His Other Self" offers a delightful glimpse into the quirks of character portrayal and the complexities of self-perception in a bygone era.
