Stockton The Lady, or the Tiger Page 1 of 5 More Books In the very olden time there lived a semi-barbaric king, whose ideas, though somewhat polished and sharpened by the progressiveness of distant Latin neighbors, were still large, florid, and untrammeled, as became the half of him which was barbaric. He was a man of exuberant fancy, and, withal, of an authority so irresistible that, at his will, he turned his varied fancies into facts. He was greatly given to self-communing, and, when he and himself agreed upon anything, the thing was done. When every member of his domestic and political systems moved smoothly in its appointed course, his nature was bland and genial; but, whenever there was a little hitch, and some of his orbs got out of their orbits, he was blander and more genial still, for nothing pleased him so much as to make the crooked straight and crush down uneven places. Among the borrowed notions by which his barbarism had become semified was that of the public arena, in which, by exhibitions of manly and beastly valor, the minds of his subjects were refined and cultured. But even here the exuberant and barbaric fancy asserted itself The arena of the king was built, not to give the people an opportunity of hearing the rhapsodies of dying gladiators, nor to enable them to view the inevitable conclusion of a conflict between religious opinions and hungry jaws, but for purposes far better adapted to widen and develop the mental energies of the people. This vast amphitheater, with its encircling galleries, its mysterious vaults, and its unseen passages, was an agent of poetic justice, in which crime was punished, or virtue rewarded, by the decrees of an impartial and incorruptible chance.

Its perfect fairness is obvious. The criminal could not know out of which door would come the lady; he opened either he pleased, without having the slightest idea whether, in the next instant, he was to be devoured or married. On some occasions the tiger came out of one door, and on some out of the other. The decisions of this tribunal were not only fair, they were positively determinate: the accused person was instantly punished if he found himself guilty, and, if innocent, he was rewarded on the spot, whether he liked it or not. There was no escape from the judgments of the king's arena. We have hundreds more books for your enjoyment. Read them all! The institution was a very popular one. When the people gathered together on one of the great trial days, they never knew whether they were to witness a bloody slaughter or a hilarious wedding. This element of uncertainty lent an interest to the occasion which it could not otherwise have attained. Thus, the masses were entertained and pleased, and the thinking part of the community could bring no charge of unfairness against this plan, for did not the accused person have the whole matter in his own hands?

INDLEDENDE: ...the following is a BIBLIOMANEN e-text: THE MAGIC EGG Frank R. Stockton From the Collection "The Magic Egg and Other Stories", 18. The pretty little theatre attached to the building of the Unicorn Club had been hired for a certain January afternoon by Mr. Herbert Loring, who wished to give therein a somewhat novel performance, to which he had invited a small audience consisting entirely of friends and acquaintances. Loring was a handsome fellow about thirty years old, who had travelled far and studied much. He had recently made a long sojourn in the far East, and his friends had been invited to the theatre to see some of the wonderful things he had brought from that country of wonders. As Loring was a club-man, and belonged to a family of good social standing, his circle of acquaintances was large, and in this circle a good many unpleasant remarks had been made regarding the proposed entertainmentmade, of course, by the people who had not been invited to be present. Some of the gossip on the subject had reached Loring, who did not hesitate to say that he could not talk to a crowd, and that he did not care to show the curious things he had collected to people who would not thoroughly appreciate them. He had been very particular in regard to his invitations. At three o'clock on the appointed afternoon nearly all the people who had been invited to the Unicorn Theatre were in their seats. No one had stayed away except for some very good reason, for it was well known that if Herbert Loring offered to show anything it was worth seeing.

In the spring of a certain year, not far from the close of the nineteenth century, when the political relations between the United States and Great Britain became so strained that careful observers on both sides of the Atlantic were forced to the belief that a serious break in these relations might be looked for at any time, the fishing schooner Eliza Drum sailed from a port in Maine for the banks of Newfoundland. It was in this year that a new system of protection for American fishing vessels had been adopted in Washington. Every fleet of these vessels was accompanied by one or more United States cruisers, which remained on the fishing grounds, not only for the purpose of warning American craft who might approach too near the three-mile limit , but also to overlook the action of the British naval vessels on the coast, and to interfere, at least by protest

39. TRM: Humour In Imaginative Fiction transgressed by any of them, save only the pious Allende, the history of whosefirst year's apostolate is recorded as follows. frank R. stockton (18341903 http://www.geocities.com/ruritanian_muglug/humour.html

Humourous imaginative fiction by Georges T. Dodds This article is a slightly modified and updated version of an article which first appeared in WARP (The Newsletter of the Montreal Science Fiction and Fantasy Association - MonSFFA R. Reginald and D. Menville, in their notes to the Lost Race and Adult Fantasy Fiction catalogue of Arno Press , cite F. Anstey as the father of modern humorous fantasy. His works, from Vice-Versa in 1882 to Salted Almonds in 1906, are collected in the 1931 title Humour and Fantasy (reprinted by Arno Press ). I must say that until I read the catalogue, I had only very vaguely heard of F. Anstey, and that I remain ignorant of his work. Similarly, while I have seen the movie Topper , I have yet to read the book of the same title by Thorne Smith, or any of his other novels. Writing mostly in the '20s and '30s, Smith produced several "society novels" with strong elements of humour and fantasy. These include, amongst others, The Bishop's Jaegers The Lamb in the Doorway The Night Life of the Gods Topper Topper Takes a Trip , and Turnabout . Several of these titles were early Pocket Books and several were reprinted in the late 70s by Ballantine Now on to material I've actually read. Some children's books, such as:
