Ghosts in the House
Dust jacket art by Richard Lamb; this picture is reprinted in the book as the endpiece. Includes a frontis portrait plate (the three Benson brothers), and three other family photos. This marks the first time the best supernatural tales of A C and R H Benson have been gathered together into one volume. Hugh Lamb presents nineteen of the best stories by both writers, including the stories Basil Netherby, and The Uttermost Farthing. A rare 1913 article, Haunted Houses, by R. H. Benson, is reprinted here for the first time. An introduction examines the lives and writings of these two complex men. Limited to 400 copies.

A. C. Benson
Arthur Christopher Benson (1862–1925) was an English essayist, poet and author, and the 28th Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge.
A. C. Benson's poems and volumes of essays, such as From a College Window, were famous in his day, and he left one of the longest diaries ever written, some four million words. Today he is best remembered as the author of the words to one of Britain's best-loved patriotic songs, Land of Hope and Glory, and as a brother to novelist E. F. Benson.
