消瘦幽灵和其他鬼故事 英文原版小说
PREFACE
Two of these stories, the third and fourth, have appeared in print inthe Cambridge Review, and I wish to thank the proprietor for permittingme to republish them here.
I have had my doubts about the wisdom of publishing a third set oftales; sequels are, not only proverbially but actually, very hazardousthings. However, the tales make no pretence but to amuse, and myfriends have not seldom asked for the publication. So not a great deal isrisked, perhaps, and perhaps also some one\'s Christmas may be thecheerfuller for a storybook which, I think, only once mentions the war.
