John Digby s fourteen tales in Me and Mr Jiggs are riveting,
risquZ, and hilarious. The setting is the bombed-out London that
Digby had known as a child growing up in the aftermath of World War
II. These tales are told in Cockney rhyming slang, which gives the
writing a unique verve, freshness, and charm. Mr. Jiggs, the silent
friend of the narrator, paradoxically prompts the telling of
scandalous anecdotes about people passing by. Despite the unique
place and time, the experiences are timeless expressions of human
nature. Digby s stories are seductive; they lure you into an
enticing world where at every turn the marvelous is revealed
through seemingly ordinary lives.
