Description
Abandon all hope? Yes! And this collection of humorous short stories "ABANDON ALL HOPE - cheerful humor for impossible days" will make you wish you'd done it sooner. You've got 20 comic tales dealing with such matters as the bumbling machinations of castle intrigue in MACBETH P.I. - detective to the Middle Ages; the travails of Russian scientist Ivan Pavlov trying to get his subject to cooperate in PAVLOV'S CAT; and the sordid history of a man whose loss of his chile cooking crown makes him go mad trying to regain it in THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF ESTRADA.
But wait! There's more: Dr. Sherlock Holmes chases the evil Professor Moriarty across London hoping to halt his fiendish candy-coated pill substitution plan in THE PILL SCHOOL; Doc Holliday and the Earps valiantly fight fish rustling in SHOOT-OUT AT THE O.K. FISHING HOLE; and scientists team up with military leaders to stop the Nazi menace by creating a decent cocktail in THE MANHATTAN PROJECT.
