  With a horse between his thighs and a weapon in his grip, the dashing Brigadier Etienne Gerard, Colonel of the Hussars of Conflans, gallops through the Napoleonic campaigns on secret missions for his beloved Emperor and his country. He encounters danger and hair-breadth escapes but never loses his bravado, his eye for a pretty girl, his boastfulness or his enormous vanity. Gerard is Conan Doyle’s most lovable character. At times hilarious, at times touching, these stories are amongst Conan Doyle’s most popular.

  These stories can be read at parties and gatherings to create a good conversation. People can make comments and have a laugh. Some of the stories are a bit silly but funny with a lot of intelligent humour thrown in for a good mix. Appealing to children and young adults, middle-aged and elderly people so all people can have a laugh, from eight to one hundred and eight all people are included. I hope you all have a laugh and don’t forget to share the laughter with friends. 
  It would be stretching my brain too far to write one hundred stories. I can think of some funny bits I have already written; they make me laugh and they might make you chuckle too. Like the zookeepers who found a job in the Air Force and now dispatches missiles. Or the girl bungee jumping in a dress and G-string, or the streaker who put his clothes back on and left the building. There are the stories about: the astronauts who were left to wander the universe for eternity, the horse who had his stripes painted on like a zebra, the monkey who packed his bags and moved back to Africa and the aliens who survived their crash landing and are walking the Earth today. These are just a few of the stories that make me laugh and there are many more! 
  There are 55 stories, I am sure something will give a giggle, a deep chuckle sprinkled with some hilarious laughs!

  To the End of the War -...

  Never-before-published fiction by one of the finest war authors of the twentieth century In 1943, a young soldier named James Jones returned from the Pacific, lightly wounded and psychologically tormented by the horrors of Guadalcanal. When he was well enough to leave the hospital, he went AWOL rather than return to service, and began work on a novel of the World War II experience. Jones’s AWOL period was brief, but he returned to the novel at war’s end, bringing him to the attention of Maxwell Perkins, the legendary editor of Fitzgerald, Hemingway, and Thomas Wolfe. Jones would then go on to write From Here to Eternity, the National Book Award–winning novel that catapulted him into the ranks of the literary elite. Now, for the first time, Jones’s earliest writings are presented here, as a collection of stories about man and war, a testament to the great artist he was about to become. This ebook features an illustrated biography of James Jones including rare photos from the author’s estate.

  David Caradoc Evans (1878-1945) was a Welsh story writer, novelist, and playwright. Evans was brought up in a Welsh-speaking community in Cardiganshire, and although he learned English at school and always wrote in English, his work is soaked in Welsh syntax and vocabulary. Evans left school at 14 and worked throughout Wales in a series of menial jobs before moving to London, where he worked as a draper's apprentice.It was this background which influenced Lost Treasure, which tells the story of Hugh, a miserly Welsh draper in London who scrimps and saves until he has ten sovereigns. This he changes for a ten-pound note, which he gives to his wife, Millie, for safekeeping. Millie hides it somewhere quite safe...so safe indeed that she forgets where she has put it. The news of the loss of the ten-pound note sends Hugh, his career, his social life, and Millie's destiny into a tailspin and changes their destiny forever.
