Ajouter au panierHardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. 3rd Edition. Third impression of the Pearson Cheap edition, originally published in 1916 and written by Prichard and his mother. The book comprises several experiences of Flaxman Low, credited as being the first psychic detective. The stories had been previously publi…shed in periodicals and collected in 1899's The Experiences of Flaxman Low, of which this current volume contains selections only. The book is Near Fine in publisher's red cloth, with no fading or marking. There is some bumping and minor wear to the extremities. Very good dust jacket. The jacket is lovely, bright and crisp, with areas of modest wear and damage as befits an inexpensively produced 100-year-old book. There is no significant loss to the jacket at all. It is a lovely copy of a delicate book. Note that, despite Pearson's assertion on the spine, these stories are pure fiction, and delightful at that.

Each volume in good or very good condition, the bindings firm with some rub…bing and chipping to the extremities, resulting in areas loss to the spines of most volumes. The contents, with some toning to the cheap quality paperstock and foxing to the occasional page, are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. The covers of four volumes are detached (Jan 1899, April 1899, May 1899, June 1899), with two rear covers missing (Jan 1899, May 1899). The publisher's green cloth cases, decorated in green, brown and gilt, are in near fine condition with a little rubbing and bumping at the edges. All volumes are in entirely original condition, without repair or restoration. Rare in this form. A collection of supernatural mysteries featuring Flaxman Low, who is considered one of the earliest occult detectives. 'Real Ghost Stories' was issued in serialized form by Cyril Arthur Pearson in two series of six parts between 1898 and 1899 written by Hesketh V. Prichard and Kate O'Brien Ryall Prichard under the pen name E. and H. Heron. Every six months the publisher would take the unsold stock of the individual monthly parts and bind them into decorated cloth boards supplying a new title page and discarding the original wrappers in the process. The first edition in book form, published by Pearson under the title 'Ghosts: Being the Experiences of Flaxman Low', collected all 12 stories, with a frontispiece and 12 illustrations (far fewer than the 95 published in Pearsons Magazine). (Bleiler) Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. All items are catalogued by humans. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.
