Supernatural Tales Excursions Into Fantasy
This superb collection of six fantastical stories, set in different historical periods and mainly in Italy, is pervaded by the theme of alien spirits representing both good and evil. Brilliantly told, they are true classics of their genre -- psychological depth and a chilling sense of the macabre are matched by great descriptive power -- written by an English writer who numbered among her friends and admirers Robert Browning, George Bernard Shaw, James McNeill Whistler and Edith Wharton.
