Printing Details

Early printing (5th impression). Hardback in dustwrapper. 24 × 16.5cm, 127pp

Twenty-one stories of ghosts and goblins from around the world, with dustwrapper, frontispiece and drawings by Robin Jacques. From the wrapper, "The author has a rich and inexhaustible supply of tales. Most of them are totally unfamiliar, all are compelling in interest, and many of them hair-raising. These ghosts are no mere wraiths with rattling chains. They are as full of character and just as unexpected as the goblins are."

Condition

The book itself is in excellent condition. The dustwrapper has a little tanning to the edges but is clean and in very good shape, and has not been price-clipped.
