G Swain's Copy with his bookplate attached to the front pastedown. \nEdmund Gill Swain (19 February 1861 – 29 January 1938) was an English cleric and author. As a chaplain of King's College, Cambridge, he was a colleague and contemporary of the scholar and author M. R. James, and a regular member of the select group to whom James delivered his famous annual Christmas Eve reading of a ghost story composed specially for the occasion. Swain collaborated with James on topical skits for amateur performance in Cambridge, but he is known best for the collection of ghost stories he published in 1912, entitled The Stoneground Ghost Tales. He also wrote a history of Peterborough Cathedral.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"details\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"heading\"\u003eBook Condition: \u003c\/span\u003eVery Good-: A firm copy with moderate wear to spine cloth, joints, and spine edges; bumping to  corners.
