A reprint of Gray's 1919 collection, this edition contains the nine stories, one poem, and illustrations of the original, along with introduction by Rosemary Pardoe and Mark valentine. A second, enlarged edition was printed in the same year, containing an additional story. "Although the stories are firmly in the antiquarian tradition of Gray's Cambridge contemporary M. R. James, they are strong enough to stand on their own merits, combining ghostly atmosphere with wit and erudition in a highly entertaining and original manner" (Wilson, Shadows in the Attic, p. 237). Barron, Horror Literature 3-74. Olive boards pictorial boards. [xii], 106, [2] pp. 8 1/2 x 6 1/2 in. Black-and-white illustrations, decorated initials. Very good.

First Edition
First edition. Collection of supernatural tales in the M.R. James tradition, strikingly illustrated throughout. Neil Barron in his guide, Fantasy and Horror, describes the stories as ranging in subject from spectral cats to metempsychosis, and "quirkier" than those of James's. Arthur Gray (1852-1940) is primarily known for this collection of ghost stories, however he also wrote on Shakespeare and local Cambridge history, having been a Master of Jesus College there for over 25 years, The book which was republished in 1993 by Ghost Story Press and again in 2008 by Ash-Tree Press is uncommon in the original jacket. Barron, Fantasy and Horror 4-56. Locke pg 121. 8vo, [viii], 93, [1]pp. Illustrated gray paper boards, matching dust jacket. Illustrations by E. Joyce Shillington. Very good with some wear and bumping to edges. Foxing to preliminaries and scattered throughout. Ownership signature of A. E. Glover on ffep. Jacket scuffed at heel of spine, likely from sticker removal. Wear and small tears to edges, chip to upper edge of rear panel, and light staining. Very good.
