About This Book

A series of comic short stories follows Jimmie Horgan, a careless but resourceful trolley controller whose blunders and schemes set off a chain of misadventures. Episodes include an unexpected inheritance, the mysterious disappearance of a trolley car, and other small-town capers involving a mascot, a numismatist, a canoe outing, and social rivalries. The tales sketch eccentric local characters and satirize pretension through slapstick situations and ironic reversals of fortune. Narrative voice pairs brisk scene-setting with wry observation to reveal how luck, reputation, and appearances shape everyday life.
