North Yorkshire: Tartarus Press:, 2024. Hardcover, Fine in Fine dust jacket, 272 pp. "Ringstones and Other Curious Tales 'have a curiously-imparted quality of strangeness; the feeling of having strayed over the border of experience into a world where other dimensions operate.' So said one of the original reviewers of these unique stories, first published in 1951. The title story is set on the Northumberland moors, where Daphne Hazel appears to cross the boundaries of time, becoming involved with terrifying personalities from the mysterious past. 'Calmahain' deals delicately and imaginatively with two children's attempts at escape from the grim realities of the Home Front during World War Two. Sarban shows himself equally at home in the Middle East, where, against an authentic background of expatriate life, three further stories explore ancient legends with spine-chilling results." Hardcover, Fine in Fine dust jacket,

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 16mo. Full tan cloth. 283 pp. Copyright date is stamped in blue to copyright page (with some show-through to title). Dust jacket lightly soiled, short tear to tail edge of rear cover, lightly edge worn. With backgrounds ranging from Northumberland moorlands to the Near East and the frozen fastnesses of Siberia, here are five tales of varying length which we believe will at once establish "Sarban" in a high place among writers who have concerned themselves with the uncanny. Thanks to his fine style, wide knowledge and lively invention, and his skill in building up atmosphere and character, he is able to lure his readers down secret and unfrequented byways, and to make plausible much that common-sense on the broad highway might - in its blindness perhaps - reject.
