Les Contes Noirs ou Les Frayeurs Populaires

Paris: P. Mongie, 1818. First Unbound. A very good copy. A collection of presumably dark fairy tales; my attempts at reading them have been thwarted by the awkwardness of Google Translate and fragility of the books, so I pass no guarantee but with titles like The Devil's Barn, The Specter.....

Item #11922 Lore of Proserpine. Maurice Hewlett

Lore of Proserpine

London: Macmillan, 1913. First / First. Hardback. A very good copy. The inscription seems to read 'To Marie Lowndes / M.H.' The 'M' could be an 'N', so it's quite unclear, and without comparison we can't guarantee this is signed by the author, but on balance it probably is. Marie.....

When the Mopoke Calls

London: John Long, 1898. First Edition / First Impression. Hardback. An uncommon book. An Australian book, collecting 22 short pieces, seemingly linked to Australian folklore.
