MORE GREAT GHOST STORIES. Collected and Edited, with an Introduction on the Ghost Story. London: Herbert Jenkins Limited, [1932]. Octavo, pp. [1-4] 5-396 [397-400: ads], original sage green cloth, front panel stamped in blind, spine panel stamped in gold, top edge stained green. First edition. A follow-up to the author's GREAT GHOST STORIES (1930). Anthology with a nice selection of old chestnuts (such as "Peter Rugg" and "Young Goodman Brown") as well as more out-of-the-way fare (such as "The Phantom Regiment" by James Grant and "Though One Rose from the Dead" by William Dean Howells). "A good selection of classics, with Dale's usual perceptive introduction; strong compliment of Victorian material." - Robert Knowlton. Bleiler, The Guide to Supernatural Fiction 467. Bleiler (1978), p. 55. Reginald 03751. Cloth uniformly faded on front and rear covers, top edge stain faded, endpapers foxed (interaction with the jacket flaps), a very good copy in decorated 7/6 dust jacket (printed in black on yellow stock) with light edge wear. The printed price on the spine panel is inked out, perhaps by the publisher. Still presents well overall. Uncommon in jacket. (#172361).
