About this title

Synopsis

The finest stories of a master of the spine-chiller are presented here in a lavishly illustrated new edition. M.R. James is generally regarded as the greatest writer of ghost stories England has ever produced and this volume gathers together his best work, including "The Tractate Middoth," "Canon Alberic's Scrapbook," and "Oh Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My Lad." A series of evocative pencil illustrations by Rosalind Caldecott accompany the text, and there are 40 color plates of contemporary paintings that give a sense of the locations of many of the stories.
