A collection of 31 stories by E.F. Benson covering many topics. Only the last section, "Spook Stories", which contains 3 stories dealing with ghosts and the supernatural, is cataloged here.
- The editor is credited on the title page as "Selected and Introduced by" over "Jack Adrian".
- First printing that states "1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2" and "Printed in Great Britain". The printing date is stated on the title page as "1994"
- The publisher is stated on the title page as "Oxford New York" over "Oxford University Press" over "1994".
- No price stated probably because this UK-printed book was meant to be sold in the US as well as the UK. The verification copy had a price sticker from Strand which claimed that the list price was $22.00.
- The cover artist credit is stated on the back jacket flap as "Jacket illustration is a detail from The Japanese Fan, by William Strang, Colnaghi & Co. Ltd., London. Photo: The Bridgeman Art Library, London."
- Non-genre stories were not entered in the contents for this ISFDB publication record. Please see the Bibliographic Comments for the full table of contents.
- Secondary verification is against a public library copy. I should be able to retrieve this publication if needed for a verification question. ~Marc Kupper.
