Please refer to the photographs for the most accurate description of the books. Context: The author's third collection of ghost stories. To the best of my knowledge, there were two identical printings, followed by a paperback edition in 1947 - all by Hutchinson - and then the book was reprinted a few years ago by Ashtree Press. These three early Hutchinson imprints are all pretty rare. Lawrence was a competent author. Her ghost stories are more literate than those of many of her peers. I sold my first edition of Lawrence's earlier collection 'Nights Of The Round Table' about 2 years ago for circa £800 to the seller who now has it listed on ABE for £3000. A bit cheeky that.
