About This Item

New York: W.W. Norton & Co., 1994. Book. Fine. Hardcover. Book Club Edition. Thick Large Octavo. 432pp. From Booklist: Henry James and M. R. James head this stellar cast of great ghost story writers. The four stories by Henry James include "The Romance of Certain Old Clothes," written when he was only 24; the four by M. R. James include "Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My Lad," a masterly combination of scholarly control and antiquarian detail published in 1904. There's Oliver Onions' "The Beckoning Fair Ones," and chilling tales by the likes of Shirley Jackson, Saki, Elizabeth Bowen, V. S. Pritchett, Muriel Spark, Edith Wharton, John Cheever, and Elizabeth Taylor, among others - 18 authors and 29 stories. Brad Leithauser explains these stories' bewitching powers in his astute introduction..

About Browse Awhile Books

We've provided used and out-of-print books to western Ohio readers and collectors since 1980 through our retail store. We have been an active online bookseller since 1997, when we were among the first generation of Bibliofind and ABE vendors. We work hard to offer a variety of interesting books, priced competitively, graded and described honestly, delivered promptly and pleasantly. Our 2,000+ square feet shop is located in the heart of the Old Tipp City Historic District, among more than 50 antique and arts shops. We're open 11AM-5PM Tuesday through Friday and 11AM-4PM Saturday. We're a two-minute drive from I-75, about 15 minutes north of Dayton, Ohio. Our current inventory consists of approximately 200,000 books, about 1/3 of which are in the online inventory. A word about descriptions...we attempt to grade and describe books as accurately as possible, so that you will know exactly what you are buying. We want our customers to order with confidence and to reorder with pleasure - if you receive anything other than what you expect, we prefer that it is because we've exceeded your expectations. Many of our books are described as being within Brodart covers or protective sleeves. These are the sort of clear covers that you find on library books, though (of course!) we do not affix them to the book in any way. Virtually all dust-jacketed books are within Brodart covers, whether so described or not.
