The Grey Wig is a 1923 collection of short stories by British author Israel Zangwill (1864-1926). They include: The Grey Wig , Chasse-Croise , The Woman Beater , The Eternal Feminine , The Silent Sisters , The Big Bow Mystery , Merely Mary Ann , The Serio-Comic Governess , etc. Israel Zangwill was a leading figure in cultural Zionism during the 19th century, as well as close friend of father of modern political Zionism, Theodor Herzl. In later life, he renounced the seeking of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. A notable portion of Zangwill’s work concentrated on ghetto life and earned him the nickname the Dickens of the Ghetto . Other notable works by this author include: Dreamers of the Ghetto (1898), Grandchildren of the Ghetto (1892 ), and Children of the Ghetto: A Study of a Peculiar People (1892). This classic work is being republished now in a new edition complete with an introductory chapter from English Humourists of To-Day by J. A. Hammerton.
