Frank Stockton’s collection opens with a conjuring show at the Unicorn Club, where a traveller back from the East demonstrates an egg that seems to work miracles. Other stories include The Widow’s Cruise, Love Before Breakfast, The Staying Power of Sir Rohan, A Piece of Red Calico and The Christmas Wreck, all told with dry, deadpan humour.
