Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. This was a comedy and it was pretty funny. The missionary was a horrible person contrasted with just about everyone else in the story who was fun. This was such a neat find. I read an excerpt that was part of a collection of humorist works and I had to know what happened, so I ordered the whole book so I could keep reading. It's very funny in a subtle way, and the writing is elegant.

Very enjoyable piece of lighthearted fiction from the s. Great characters and a fun plot. One could read this to children or enjoy it alone. I am surprised no one has made a movie of it. Worth reading, especially if you are interested in American humor and literature. One person found this helpful. Much is very funny and a reads like a yarn told by a good story teller.
The Casting Away of Mrs. Lecks and Mrs. Aleshine by Frank Richard Stockton
Enjoyed the book had a good ending with a little twist no more to really say just light and enjoyable. Excellent diction, fabulous surprising plot. Or get it free on kindle. This short story was delightful in a very old fashioned way. It was available as a scanned copy of an old manuscript and met all expectations. I first read this book many years ago in high school and have read it periodically ever since, giving myself time to forget it well enough that it all seems fresh again.

Aleshine are two of the most memorable characters I've ever encountered, and the proceedings in this book remain vastly entertaining to me. Stockton was a superb storyteller and though this book was written in the very late nineteenth century, the tone is just modern enough to make it easy to read. See all 9 reviews.
