The alabaster hand and other ghost stories

A.N.L. Munby was a fellow of King's College, Cambridge and wrote these ghost stories while a prisoner of war in Germany.

Considering the popularity of the slightly earlier ghost stories of M.R. James, it's surprising that these are not better known as any fan of James should love them: the volume might truthfully have been entitled, Ghost Stories of Another Antiquary, except that I imagine doing so would have infringed copyright.

A fairly rare book, not readily found and apparently not available as print on demand.
