Mr. Jiggins of Jigginstown AUTHOR Christine Longford Synopsis The aging Irish Country Squire, Mr. Jiggins, is so eccentric that he alters the shapes of his windows to correspond to his chairs, reads the Koran to his staff after breakfast and believes that when he dies, he'll turn into a fox. His avaricious relatives don't care what he turns into as long as he dies soon.
