- Used
1912. SWAIN, E. G. THE STONEGROUND GHOST TALES compiled from the recollections of the Reverend Roland Batchel, Vicar of the parish. Cambridge [England]: W. Heffer & Sons Ltd., 1912. First edition. Octavo. [viii], 187 pp. Publisher's pictorial blue cloth binding, with front board and spine stamped in black. It shows general wear all over (some scuffing and spotting, etc.) and is faded on spine. The opening and closing text leaves are foxed just along their fore-edges; otherwise the text is clean. The bookblock is overopened in a few places and is weak at those points, but is still soundly in its cloth binding. Early ownership marks and a small bookseller's label (Lauriat's of Boston, MA) on ffep. Edmund Gill Swain (1861 - 1938) was an author and a chaplain of King's College, Cambridge, and a colleague and contemporary of the scholar and author M. R. James, and a regular member of the select group to whom James delivered his famous annual Christmas Eve reading of a ghost story composed specially for the occasion. This collection of nine ghost stories is Swain's most famous and is dedicated James. A very good copy overall.

Description:
First English edition of one of the most zeitgeist-infiltrating classics. Original buff wrappers, spine chipped and split but holding, scattered spots on rear wrapper, general rubbing, interior largely clean - withal a Very Good, honest copy and increasingly rare in untouched condition. Housed in a cloth chemise, inner flaps foxed. Ex-libris Mary and Donald Hyde, superstar collectors of Harvard fame. Contemporary ink signature "Kate Rae" on front cover.This U.K. edition was slated for release in December of 1885, but was delayed until January 9th, 1886 as the publisher didn't want it to get lost in the Christmas shuffle. The American edition was published four days earlier on January 5th.
This is a frightening tale, not necessarily because of Mr. Hyde's visible beastliness - but because Stevenson reminds us that the most frightening elements of existence reside within!***Please email us for better pricing.***
