    Description

    First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, Scarce

    The first collected edition.

    Bound in the publisher's original cloth, rebacked and with the original spine laid down.

    A scarce anthology of ghost stories written by English author Oliver Onions, known in particular for his short stories and novels. Onions was recognised for his contributions to the ghost story genre, notable the collection 'Widdershins' and the widely anthologized story 'The Beckoning Fair One'.

    This particular collection features nineteen of Onions' tales, comprising those included in his previous three collections, published between 1911 and 1929: 'Widdershins', 'Ghosts in Daylight' and 'The Painted Face'. This includes the extremely popular tale 'The Beckoning Fair One'.

    Condition

    Bound in the publisher's original cloth, rebacked and with the spine laid down. Externally, very good, with light bumping to the extremities and light marks to cloth. Fading to lettering on spine. Hinges have been reinforced and endpapers renewed. Bookseller label, bookplate remnants and a stamp to the front and rear paste downs. One or two spots to the fore edge. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright with light scattered spotting, heavier to the front.

    Very Good
