Cambridge: W. Heffer & Sons Ltd. 1912. Octavo pp. 1-8 1-187 188: printer's imprint original pictorial blue cloth front and spine panels stamped in black. First edition. A collection of nine ghost stories dedicated to Swain's longtime friend M. R. James. ". Swain's tales share many features with those of James' and draw on the friends' common interests and antiquarian studies. They are however rather milder in tone and regularly incorporate a playful humour not often found in James' work. The tales relate the adventures of a fictionalized version of the author Mr Batchel Rector of Stoneground parish. Although by today's standards readers may find Swain's stories rather lacking in supernatural horrors their subtle qualities become apparent on re-reading and many find Mr Batchel one of the most enduring creations of English ghost fiction." - Wilson Shadows in the Attic p. 468.
