The haunted dolls' house and other stories

by Montague Rhodes James

"A young boy has nightmares that reveal a terrible truth; a mezzotint becomes a sinister living tableau; a macabre human drama is re-enacted in a delightful Gothic dolls' house; a hotel room mysteriously appears and disappears. Small possessions are imbued with a strange significance: a manuscript bears an ancient curse, a whistle has strange powers."--Jacket.
