TWO
GREAT
HUMORISTS!
If you
want to
LAUGH
as well
as to be
interested
and
instructed
read the
STRAND
MAGAZINE
during
1900.
Several important arrangements have been made for the coming year, especially in the Department of Fiction.
MR. W. W. JACOBS, whose “Master of Craft” has provided so much genuine amusement, will follow up his serial with a series of short stories written in his most entertaining style. We are happy to be able to state that we have acquired the entire serial rights in all the fiction which Mr. Jacobs may produce during the next three years.
MR. F. ANSTEY, the well-known author of “Vice-Versâ,” &c., will commence in the January Number a Serial entitled “A Brass Bottle”—a story of the most delightful and fantastic humour.
MR. H. G. WELLS has written one of his most characteristic serial stories under the title of “The First Men in the Moon.” The wonderful machine which carried the voyagers to the moon, together with description of the planet and its inhabitants, form one of the most absorbing stories which its ingenious writer has produced.
DR. CONAN DOYLE will also appear as a humorist. He has written for the January Number a “Last Adventure of Brigadier Gerard,” in which the Brigadier appears, in a vastly entertaining manner, in the character of a fox-hunter.
Numerous Articles of the greatest interest have been specially arranged for.
