Sewell Ford’s Shorty McCabe stories were popular Edwardian comic fiction at its most entertaining, featuring a wisecracking, big-hearted New York boxing trainer who attracts eccentric millionaires, stranded aristocrats, and romantic complications in roughly equal measure. Odd Numbers continues the series with more of the sharp, punchy, good-natured humour that made Shorty a firm favourite with readers of the day.
Breezy, fast-moving, and alive with period New York colour and street-smart dialogue, these stories deliver reliable entertainment. Download this free EPUB and step back into Shorty’s wonderfully chaotic midtown gym.
