The Soul of Nicholas Snyders

Old Zandam, fragrant town of Once-Upon-a-Time, is filled with possibilities.  Strange pedlars from over the seas come to its tiny quay and they bring curious wares in their magic trays.  At twilight time, these fantastic vendors steal from house to house and from mill to mill to strike their bargains and play their pranks.

This story comes with tranquil harmony from Jerome K. Jerome, mellow jester, lover of old humour and ripe philosophy.  His work is filled with a quaint whimsicality and this mystery fairy story, rich in characterisation and redolent of the land of waterways and mills and picturesque costume is like a breath of old lavender after the garish atmosphere of so many modern plays.
