Skin and Bones

Skin and Bonesby Thorne SmithThis classic book contains the humorous and fantastical story 'Skin and Bones', about a man who accidentlly turns himself into a skeleton whilst attempting to prefect an 'X-ray film'. A great read, thiis book is thoroughly recommended for inclusion on the bookshelf of any home, where it is sure to become a family favourite.WHEN Quintus Bland set out to enjoy the evening he had not the vaguest idea he was destined to become a skeleton. Yet that is exactly what he did become-an impressive structure composed entirely of bone as far as the eye could reach.Had fate vouchsafed the man some small warning of the radical departure from his customary appearance, there is no doubt he would have stopped where he was and become a skeleton comfortably in the privacy of his own home, assuming for the moment one can comfortably become a skeleton while still alive and active.There were many persons who wished he had pursued this course and remained at home. Life for them would have still retained a little of its zest.Indubitably this would have been the more agreeable course not only for Mr. Bland and his friends, but also for a number of unfortunate individuals who through no fault of their own were forced to undergo the ordeal of gazing on Quintus Bland in far less than the nude-in, perhaps, the most disturbing form a man can present to his fellow men.
