Sobre este artículo
London: Hutchinson & Co., n.d., [1896]. First edition. End papers age darkened, brief penciled marginalia by a critical contemporary reader on several pages, cloth rubbed at spine and corners, a very good copy. (28724). Octavo, pp. [1-8] 1-228, original dark blue pictorial cloth, spine and front panels stamped in brown, white, and gold, top edge rough trimmed. "Her second and best-known collection of ghost stories, including the classic 'The Shadow in the Moonlight.' The narrative viewpoint of the children makes it more effective, but then Molesworth's best work was written for such innocent eyes. The adult tales are typical ghosts and premonitions, straightforward and competent. Beautiful pictorial binding and title page designed by Fred Hyland." - Robert Knowlton. "These stories convey only low-intensity chills, but they are charming, atmospheric, and original. Known mainly for her children's literature, Molesworth featured children in her ghost stories and invested her style with a childlike conciseness that contrasts strikingly with the highly embellished diction of Vernon Lee, Violet Hunt, and Rhoda Broughton." - Tymn (ed), Horror Literature 3-173.
