The Big Bow Mystery: With a Chapter From English Humorists of To-day by J. A. Hammerton

“The Big Bow Mystery” is an 1892 mystery novel by British writer Israel Zangwill. Originally serialised in 1891 “The Star newspaper”, it was first published as a novel in 1892. The story is set in the East End of London and is one of the first examples of the Locked-room mystery genre. A thrilling page-turner not to be missed by lovers of classic mystery fiction. Israel Zangwill (1864–1926) was a British author. He was a leading figure in cultural Zionism during the 19th century, as well as close friend of Theodor Herzl. In later life, he renounced the seeking of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Other notable works by this author include: “Dreamers of the Ghetto” (1898), “Ghetto Tragedies” (1899), and “Ghetto Comedies” (1907). This classic work is being republished now in a new edition complete with an introductory chapter from “English Humourists of To-Day” by J. A. Hammerton.
