Publisher's date 1915, title page verso.  \"Popular Edition\". Gray cloth with dark red lettering and design. 274 pp. Frontispiece color illustration.  Of the eight short stories collected here, three narrate crimes (infidelity, smuggling, murder) and four narrate supernatural incidents. Most of her stories revolve around the topics of love and sex. Her treatment of these is somewhat transitional between the Victorian and modern, leaning towards the traditional view of women as noble and men as base; but she deals with the physicality of sex more candidly than is typical for this period. The author was a relation of the poet Tennyson.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"details\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"heading\"\u003eBook Condition: \u003c\/span\u003eVery Good+: A firm copy with minor wear to spine edges and corners.
