Enchanted Typewriter

by John Kendrick Bangs

The Enchanted Typewriter, published in 1899, is a whimsical collection of short stories by American author John Kendrick Bangs. The stories are attributed to the late (and invisible) James Boswell, who, as an editor for a newspaper in Hades, communicates with the author through an old typewriter. The book is considered a classic of Bangsian fantasy, characterized by its clever wit and satirical humor.
