Summary:
This volume of M.R. James's classic ghostly fiction contains:
"Preface," "The Residence at Whitminster," "The Diary of Mr.
Poynter," "The Episode of Cathedral History," "The Story of a
Disappearance and an appearance," and "Two Doctors." About this
volume, the author wrote: "I have had my doubts about the wisdom of
publishing a third set of tales; sequels are, not only proverbially
but actually, very hazardous things. However, the tales make no
pretence but to amuse, and my friends have not seldom asked for the
publication. So not a great deal is risked, perhaps, and perhaps also
some one's Christmas may be the cheerfuller for a storybook which, I
think, only once mentions the war."
