Book Description
According to her biographer, Julia Briggs, E. Nesbit was "the first modern writer for children": Nesbit "helped to reverse the great tradition of children's literature inaugurated by Lewis Carroll, George MacDonald and Kenneth Grahame, in turning away from their secondary worlds to the tough truths to be won from encounters with things-as-they-are, previously the province of adult novels." Briggs also credits Nesbit with having invented the children's adventure story. This selection chosen by the critic August Nemocontains the following stories: - The Ebony Frame - John Charrington's Wedding - Uncle Abraham's Romance - The Mystery Of The Semi-Detached - From The Dead - Man-Size In Marble - The Mass For The Dead

Book Description
A ghost story may be any piece of fiction, or drama, that includes a ghost, or simply takes as a premise the possibility of ghosts or characters' belief in them. The "ghost" may appear of its own accord or be summoned by magic. Linked to the ghost is the idea of "hauntings", where a supernatural entity is tied to a place, object or person. Ghost stories are commonly examples of ghostlore. The critic Augst Nemo brings seven tales with tormented souls that will make you shiver: - An Authentic Narrative of a Haunted House by Sheridan le Fanu - The Old Nurse's Story by Elizabeth Gaskell - A Warning to the Curious by M. R. James - Nightmare-Touch by Lafcadio Hearn - The Furnished Room by O. Henry - The Phantom 'Rickshaw by Rudyard Kipling - The Open Window by Saki
