"Collection of supernatural tales, suggested by dreams and written after the manner of M. R. James, abeit in a more romantic vein. Excellent material, treating a variety of themes with style and imagination; striking imagery, subtle modulations of tone. One of the best, and most neglected, books of its period." - Robert Knowlton. ". rare, but superlative collection ." - Sullivan (ed), The Penguin Encyclopedia of Horror and the Supernatural, p. 371. "RANDALLS ROUND has gained an almost mythical but perfectly justifiable reputation as one of the greatest -- but least known -- ghost story collection of all time. The nine tales in this volume undoubtedly contain some of the most horrifying and memorable scenes ever written in the genre." - Richard Dalby, "Introduction," RANDALLS ROUND (Ash-Tree Press 1996), p. ix. Wilson, Shadows in the Attic, p. 441. Bleiler (1978), p. 176. Reginald 38052. Small embossed Norwich bookseller stamp at top right corner of front free endpaper. Former owner's signature on front free endpaper. Faint spotting to cloth, a very good, bright copy in about good 7/6 pictorial dust jacket (illustrated by D. Murphy) with wear and short closed tears along top and bottom edges, shallow chips from upper spine end and corner tips, old repairs to closed tears along spine folds and rear fold, and considerable internal spotting and foxing with some show through on outer surface. Still a nice copy in better condition than most extant copies. Rare in jacket. (#170864). Seller Inventory # 170864
