A great American author buys an English ancestral hall and becomes obsessed with the portrait of a child who died there long ago, and then meets a little girl who looks exactly like her. Other stories cross the Yorkshire stepping-stones of The Striding Place, follow a dead countess and a snob’s tragedy, and bring Old California and modern society into sharp, sometimes chilling focus.
Elegant, eerie stories of 1905 for lovers of the literary ghost tale. Download the free EPUB.
