Although well-known in her time as a writer of children's stories, Mary Louisa Molesworth (1839-1921) has since become highly regarded as an author of supernatural fiction. This volume contains all thirteen of Molesworth's uncanny tales, in which the cosy world of middle-class Victorian domesticity is subject to ghostly incursions, and other unexplained phenomena. The collection also includes an additional story by Molesworth's son Bevil, who predeceased his mother at the tragically young age of twenty-seven.
