Spirit of Old Essex draws together Arthur Morrison's lost treasure of a novel Cunning Murrell, a tale of witchcraft, smuggling and country life long lost, together with additional background information on Morrison's research and inspiration. A Wizard of Yesterday is a Strand Magazine article giving details of Morrison's trip to Hadleigh, Essex, to do research for the novel. Includes the original illustrations. Also includes the article that likely inspired the idea. This is the first time these texts have been brought together in one volume. New introduction provides background to Arthur Morrison.
