First printed in 1904, it is the landmark book that established the modern horror story. It has been reprinted more times than any other book in this field, and it contains several of the best ghost stories in the English language.\u003cbr\u003eThe antiquary here is M. R. James, Provost of Eton, one of the most formidable scholars that England has ever produced, who has drawn upon an unmatched knowledge of the hidden byways of the past to form a series of inimitable stories. Among them are such favorites as Number Thirteen, Canon Alberic's Scrap-book, and Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My Lad. Common to all of them is the breath of the evil that dieth not but lieth in wait.\u003cbr\u003eThis edition reprints for the first time in recent years the four original illustrations that James McBride prepared while James was working on this, his first collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.36 x 8.38 x 5.34 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 24, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51756093571360,"sku":"9780486227580","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/7da97e0eb52d79c0df767a538ae562ae.webp?v=1780073967","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/ghost-stories-of-an-antiquary-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
