Soft cover. Zustand: New. Some of the most hypnotically spooky and unsettling ghost stories ever written have been set in the forests, dak bungalows and hill stations of India and the brooding wilderness of pre-modern Japan. And among the masters of this genre are legendary writers like Rudyard Kipling and Ruskin Bond, and three brilliant storytellers who should be better known: Bithia Mary Croker and Alice Perrinmistresses of the 'Raj supernatural'and Lafcadio Hearn, who took Japanese culture to the West. This box set brings together four collections of their best ghost stories. A dead woman who comes calling for her husband; a schoolboy who sees two ghostsor perhaps the same ghost twicein a pine forest; an ayah who sings to an invisible baby; a mandarin duck that pursues a hunter; a haunted horse; a phantom rickshaw; a banjo-playing spirit. These and other apparitions float through the gripping, atmospheric tales in this ghostly box set.…

First edition. 16mo., original greyish brown printed wrappers, titled diagonally across the front cover within a typographic frame. [Imprint on wrapper only, printed at] Lahore, The "Civil and Military Gazette". No Date,  A very good and entirely unsophisticated copy of an outstanding rarity: the author's second book. With some minor stains to the front cover, some old soft creases to the fore edge corners, gentle rounding and softening of fore-edge corners, early pencil annotations either identifying the poets being "echoed" or identifying poems as R.K.'s original work. A sound, unrestored copy in an early linen folding box.  Kipling was only eighteen, but was already writing for the Civil and Military Gazette when he commissioned this in an edition he describes as being of 150 copies. Richards notes that Kipling claimed that the Gazette printed the book for free, as he was a staff member, and that not only was it well reviewed, but "the edition sold out and the unanticipated profits enabled Kipling to buy a new horse". There is some dispute about how many of the poems themselves (most of which were parodies, or "echoes" of other authors) were Rudyard's and which were by his 16 year sold sister Alice, known as "Trix". She claimed eleven, while Rudyard believed that she only contributed seven: Richards is able to rebutt her claim to two of the disputed poems by finding them in Kipling's manuscript notebooks. Richards, A2.…
