Publisher Description
Montague Rhodes James, the greatest English writer of ghost stories, was born in 1862 at Goodnestone Parsonage in Kent, where his father was Curate, and spent most of his boyhood at Livermere, near Bury St Edmunds in East Anglia, where his father had become rector. From childhood he was passionately interested in medieval books and antiques.
A man of formidable learning and enormous quickness of mind, James translated the Apocryphal Books of the New Testament into English, having them published in 1924. Many of his elegant and terrifying tales were suggested to him by scenes he had visited in Europe or England. This volume contains “A Warning to the Curious” and “Casting the Runes.”
