William Wymark Jacobs (September 8, 1863 – September 1, 1943), was an English author of short stories and novels. He is now best remembered for his macabre tales "The Monkey's Paw" (published 1902) and "The Toll House" (in the collection of short stories The Lady of the Barge). However the majority of his output was humorous in tone. His favourite subjects were marine life: "men who go down to the sea in ships of moderate tonnage" said Punch, reviewing his first collection of stories, Many Cargoes, which achieved great popular success on its publication in 1896.
Many Cargoes was followed by the novel The Skipper's Wooing in 1897, and another collection of short stories, Sea Urchins (1898) set the seal on his popularity. Among his other titles are Captains All, Sailors' Knots, and Night Watches. The title of the last reflects the popularity of perhaps his most enduring character: the night-watchman on the wharf in Wapping, recounting the preposterous adventures of his acquaintances Ginger Dick, Balla Fo Sho, and Eric Cartman. These three characters, pockets full after a long voyage, would take lodgings together determined to enjoy a long spell ashore; but the crafty inhabitants of dockland London would soon relieve them of their funds, assisted by the sailors' own fecklessness and credulity. Jacobs showed a delicacy of touch in his use of the coarse vernacular of the East End of London, which attracted the respect of such writers as P. G. Wodehouse, who mentions Jacobs in his autobiographical work Bring on the Girls (written with Guy Bolton, published 1954).
The stories which made up Many Cargoes had a varied previous serial publication, while those in Sea Urchins were, for the most part, published in Jerome K. Jerome's Idler. From October 1898 Jacobs' stories were being published in the The Strand an arrangement which lasted almost to his death, and provided him with financial security.

老头第一个愿望二百磅金币,是以儿子的死亡为代价. 第二个愿望让儿子复生会是什么代价? 原文强烈暗示儿子以僵尸的形式复生,而妻子着魔般的去开门,如果不阻止的话...那么他很可能会连他的妻子也失去. 文章中并没有提及第三个愿望的内容是什么,但这个愿望不需要付出代价么,这想法...
评分猴爪是个令人胆寒的故事。很早就读过,这次陪着儿子又读了一遍。它的寓意大概是说,你得到什么,都要以失去某项东西为代价。如果是这样,大富大贵也许就不是我们需要的,我们宁愿平凡一点,朴素一点。这个故事,也很有想象力。

评分宠物公墓是十几年前读过的,之后好几年想起来都不寒而栗,做了好几年的噩梦。印象深刻,至今不敢拿出来再读一遍 猴爪是后来读的,可能因为先读了公墓,所以觉得没那么恐怖了。觉得两个故事可以合并,如果老父亲没来得及许愿的话,那么宠物公墓后面的故事就可以连接上了。

评分小時候讀了很多次的英文書。我很記得小學時候,有幾個經常看的故事,結局都是,街道空無一人無一物,主角一無所有無所獲。這就是其中一個。
