M. R. James was born in Kent, England in 1862. James came to writing fiction relatively late, not publishing his first collection of short stories - Ghost Stories of an Antiquary (1904) - until the age of 42. Modern scholars now see James as having redefined the ghost story for the 20th century and he is seen as the founder of the 'antiquarian ghost story'. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions with a brand new introductory biography of the author.

If anyone is curious about my local settings, let it be recorded that St Bertrand de Commingesand Viborg are real places: that in 'Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You' I had Felixstowe in mind.As for the fragments of ostensible erudition which are scattered about my pages, hardlyanything in them is not pure invention; there never was, naturally, any such book as that whichI quote in 'The Treasure of Abbot Thomas'. 'Canon Alberic's Scrap-book' was written in 1894and printed soon after in the National Review, 'Lost Hearts' appeared in the Pall Mall Magazine;of the next five stories, most of which were read to friends at Christmas-time at King's College, Cambridge, I only recollect that I wrote 'Number 13' in 1899, while 'The Treasure of AbbotThomas' was composed in the summer of 1904

Theodore had his father's handsome presence, who possessed more dignity and reserve of manner than his splendid looking, jovial brother. Their respective types were continued in their sons. Theodore had inherited studious tastes, and he was a scholarly man. He never made himself as acceptable in social circles as his uncle had done, but he soon acquired a firmer hold upon the public mind. He became more influential and very soon was considered as a leading man in the community, not only on account of his vase wealth, but because he had the intellect, capacity, and will power to rule. He did not try to subvert or to revolutionize the peculiar institutions around him, and although he never approved of slavery, yet he accepted a position which he had not sought, but which was rather forced upon him, in a broad and liberal spirit. He was conservative., and worked steadily toward the amelioration of all that could be ameliorated. His plantations, in course of time, became like model farms, a school of instruction to other planters. He introduced a more humane and thoughtful management of his people than had hitherto prevailed, and elevated the condition of his dependents as far as the stringent and repressive laws then in force permitted. While his mother, who lived rather a retired life, was so assiduous in well-doing that she was welcomed as the good angel of the poor. ******** A year had passed, a year of the busy life in the South of a man who tried to live like a Christian gentleman, and who did not forget that the wealth placed in his hands was only a trust for the good of others. Meantime no duty had...
