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.
