Nig Nog and Other Humorous Stories is a collection of short humorous stories that include Jimmys Brother, Sentimental Simpson, Chubb of the Slipper, and many more. There are reasons worth exploring why Edgar Wallace was so successful in his writings and amongst them were his imagination, cleverness, and humor as demonstrated in these initial short stories, especially Nig- Nog (making an in-your-face patent medicine pedlar and a burglar endearing characters, and flipping the story endings upside down with nifty consequences is the work of a genius with a sense of humor). Edgar Wallace provides a humor of another sort!
