A rare treasure of ghostly tales from the Victorian era
Shropshire born James Hain Friswell (1825-78) was a prolific
author of the Victorian age. A noted defender of the Christian
faith, much of his non-fiction output quite naturally concentrated
on religious matters. He also contributed to a number of journals
of his time, wrote non-fiction on a plethora of subjects and penned
a number of novels and short stories. He was especially regarded in
his own time for his efforts to improve the quality of literature
for young readers. In this special Leonaur edition is Friswell's
small, but select, collection of the ghostly and other worldly
fiction. Here is Ghost Stories and Phantom Fancies, a dozen or so
pieces (including a poem) to please aficionados of supernatural
fiction as it was a written during its golden age including, 'The
Dead Man's Story, ' 'The Black Madonna, ' 'The Oxford Ghost, ' 'A
Phantom of the Du Barry' and others. This comparatively concise
work published in 1858 is, of course, rare on the antiquarian
market so the Leonaur editors are pleased to be able to represent
it to modern readers as part of our Collected Supernatural and
Weird Fiction series.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each
title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our
hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their
spines and fabric head and tail bands.
