valuable resource that equips readers to manage process safety in

An edition combining The Sin Eater (1895) and The Washer of the
Ford (1896) with four added tales not in the first editions -
including the remarkable weird fantasy "Ahaz the Pale" about an
Amazon warrior. This omnibus includes some of the best Macleod
weird tales. "The Washer of the Ford" is a winnower of souls; "The
Harping of Cravetheen" is one of the most grotesque heroic
fantasies ever written; "The Dan-nan-ron" regards the musical power
to control the moods & will of others; "Green Branches" is a
tale of a murdered brother's ghostly return; "Sin-Eater" regards
Celtic magic; and many other great tales. A Scottish poet and man
of letters, William Sharp (1855-1905) wrote a series of
well-regarded novels representative of the "Celtic Twilight" school
popularized by William Butler Yeats under the nom-de-plume Fiona
Macleod, a pseudonym that Sharp never publicly acknowledged. Sharp
even composed a fictional biography of Macleod for publication in
"Who's Who" and exchanged correspondence with such notables as
George Meredith, Robert L. Stevenson, Oscar Wilde, and Dante G.
Rossetti, sometimes as William Sharp, and sometimes as Fiona
Macleod. In part two of this memoir, compiled by Sharp's wife from
his diaries and letters, the story of his dual-identity is made
public and explained for the first time.
