The Story of a Disappearance and an Appearance: Annotated Edition (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781732739901)

"What first interested me in ghosts? This I can tell you quite definitely. In my childhood I chanced to see a toy Punch and Judy set, with figures cut out in cardboard. One of these was The Ghost. It was a tall figure habited in white with an unnaturally long and narrow head, also surrounded with white, and a dismal visage. Upon this my conceptions of a ghost were based, and for years it permeated my dreams." This annotated chapbook is the definitive edition of M.R. James's classic ghost story about a missing person, a murder, and a Punch and Judy show.
