Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Strange Adventures of John Smith Life might have been in many ways a very different thing with him, he was profoundly convinced, if only his name has not been John Smith. John Smith! Who gave him that name? Not his god-fathers and god-mother, certainly, for his family did not belong to the Church of England as by law established; but his own father and mother - which only made matters worse. They, at least, ought to have realised - they were Smiths themselves - the enormity of their blunder. It was practically like sending their child out into the world with a paternal curse.
