LibriVox recording of The Man Who Lost Himself, by H. De Vere Stacpoole. Read by Roger Melin.
Best known for his literary work The Blue Lagoon, which has been made into film several times over, H. De Vere Stacpoole’s first publication was a book titled The Intended in 1894. Stacpoole was disappointed at its lack of commercial success, and felt the story was too good to let go. He eventually re-worked the book, culminating in The Man Who Lost Himself, a light-hearted story of a luckless American visiting London on yet another of his failed business ventures, when he happens upon a gentleman of status and wealth, who also just happens to be his exact look-alike. (Summary by Roger Melin)

Subject: Enjoyable story!
Subject: Enjoyable story!
Jones finds himself in London with only 10 pounds in his pocket, not enough to get back to Philadelphia, after a business deal falls through. He sees a man whom he recognizes, but cannot remember his name. Turns out he recognizes him because the man is the mirror image of himself! After a bit too much alcohol with the man (and perhaps being drugged), he wakes up the next morning in a luxurious home, and is addressed as "my lord." The earl has changed places with him. Was it as a joke, or for a serious purpose? And can he extricate himself before being called out as an impostor - if he even wants to?
A very enjoyable story, very nicely read by Roger Melin.
