Three Live Ghosts: A Comedy in Three Acts

By Frederic Stewart Isham and Max Marcin

Book Overview

""Three Live Ghosts"" is a comedic play written by Frederic Stewart Isham and first published in 1918. The story revolves around three British soldiers who are presumed dead during World War I but actually survive and are stranded on a deserted island. They eventually make their way back to London, only to find that their families have all moved on and their estates have been sold. The three soldiers decide to pose as ghosts to scare off the new occupants of their former homes, but their plan goes awry when they encounter a group of German spies. The play is a humorous commentary on the absurdity of war and the futility of clinging to the past.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
