Six classic ghostly tales in the tradition of M. R. James
This delightful collection of classic ghost stories was the only
foray into the world of supernatural fiction made by the renowned
British architect Sir Thomas Graham Jackson. Jackson was born in
1835 and rose to become one of the most distinguished architects of
his generation. He spent much of his career working within the
academic environment of Oxford, England and his work on many
college projects is enduring and highly regarded. The
internationally famous 'Bridge of Sighs' over New College Lane is
notable among them. Perhaps it was his long association with the
world of academia that fostered a love of the 'Jamesian' style of
the ghostly tale. In any event his own literary efforts-executed
late in life at the age of 80- fall satisfyingly within that
tradition. This concise book is now very rare and among collectors
of supernatural fiction is a highly desirable find on the
antiquarian book market. This special Leonaur edition is therefore
an essential addition to the bookshelves of all enthusiasts.
Available as a paperback as a collectors hardcover edition with a
full cloth binding, head bands, gold foil embossed spine and dust
jacket.
Near the end of the nineteenth century Standard Oil millionaire
Henry Morrison Flagler ventured to St. Augustine, Florida,
America's Oldest City, and transformed it into an exotic travel
destination for the social elite. He raised magnificent, fanciful
Spanish Renaissance hotel palaces on what had been orange grove and
salt marsh. Then he connected his creation with the outside world
by building a modern railroad system. Flagler's hotels stand as
monuments to innovation in architecture and engineering. They were
the first large buildings in the United States constructed of
poured concrete, and they pioneered use of novel amenities like
electric lights, steam heat, and elevators. They are still a vital
part of modern St. Augustine. The Ponce de Leon, Flagler's
preeminent hotel, now houses Flagler College; the Alcazar now holds
the City Hall and the Lightner Museum. Only the Casa Monica
(previously called the Cordova) is presently a hotel.
