From the Introduction: "In publishing this collection of the Spoopendyke Sketches it is proper to explain the for many years the Eagle has been plied with letters from readers, who desired to ascertain how they could secure copies of a book of this character. It was decided that much of the material other than that coming under the mere title of Spoopendyke ought to be embraced in the book. This course has been adopted in order that readers may have the opportunity of enjoy not only a greater variety, but also an idea of the wider range of the author's capacity for producing sketches of real life, which, on account of their simple regard to the lines of truth, almost read like exaggerations. The element which commends the main character of these writings is that of humor; and no reader will need to be informed that the sketches are humorous." Quantity Available: 1.
