W.W. Jacobs : The Castaways

'17th September 1928. [...] The new piece by Maurice Rostand is getting a very favourable press and I would like to see it. It is entitled ?Napoleon IV? and is about Prince Louis-Napol?on who was killed in the Zulu war. I always remember him as the very fat man in one of mother?s picture books. When I was very young he afforded me much amusement. I have been reading Jacobs between chapters of American history. ?Deep Waters? and ?The Castaways? ?.. (W. W. Jacobs)'
