'The Grey Wig' is a 1923 collection of short stories by British author Israel Zangwill (1864-1926). They include: 'The Grey Wig', 'Chassé-Croisé', '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.
