The Serio-Comic Governess is a 1923 short story by British author Israel Zangwill (1864-1926). 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 . Highly recommended for lovers of the short story form and not to be missed by fans of Zangwill’s masterful work. 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.
