Twenty tales from beyond the veil from a mistress of the strange
and other worldly
It is widely held that many of the finest writers of the classic
ghostly and macabre story were women. Some would propose that this
remains true among modern exponents of the craft. It was certainly
true of Amelia Edwards whose collection of otherworldly fiction is
highly regarded and extensive, notwithstanding her many other
talents. It is interesting that Edwards came into contact with
another famous ghost story writer, Charles Dickens, as a
consequence of providing articles, poetry and stories for his
magazine, Household Words. Whether by coincidence or design
Edwards' literary style was so similar to Dickens' as to cause
confusion as to the identity of the actual author of some stories.
Whilst this will please Dickens aficionados, Edwards own work
stands on its own merits as a fine collection of Victorian gothic
tales. In later life Edwards became an Egyptologist and was
responsible for the preservation of many priceless monuments and
artefacts. Available in soft cover and hard cover with dust jacket.
Leonaur hard covers make fine collectors editions featuring real
cloth bindings, taped head and tail bands and gold foil lettering
upon their spines.
