The Man Who Found Himself (Uncle Simon) (Paperback)

This early work by Henry Stacpoole was originally published in 1920 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The Man Who Found Himself (Uncle Simon)' tells the tale of a man who encounters his lookalike, but when his lookalike dies in an accident, he gets mistaken as his doppelgänger. Henry De Vere Stacpoole was born on April 9th 1863 in Kingstown, Ireland. Stacpoole's writing career started with the publication of 'The Intended' in 1894, but his most famous work is The Blue Lagoon, a romance novel published in 1908. The book was met with critical acclaim and was adapted to film twenty times in twelve years.
