The Oxford Bookworms Library provides superb reading and student / teacher support for the classroom, and is also highly recommended for schools running Extensive Reading Programmes, offering the right range of books that encourage students to read for pleasure. If you find a locked room in a lonely inn, don't try to open it, even on a bright sunny day. If you find a strange whistle hidden among the stones of an old church, don't blow it. If a mysterious man gives you a piece of paper with strange writing on it, give it back to him at once. And if you call a dead man from his grave, don't expect to sleep peacefully ever again. Read these five ghost stories by daylight, and make sure your door is locked.

M.R. James is probably the finest ghost-story writer England has ever produced. These tales are not only classics of their genre, but are also superb examples of beautifully-paced understatement, convincing background and chilling terror. As well as the preface, there is a fascinating tail-piece by M.R. James, ‘Stories I Have Tried To Write’, which accompanies these thirty tales. Among them are ‘Casting the Runes’, ‘Oh, Whistle and I’ll come to you, My Lad’, ‘The Tractate Middoth’, ‘The Ash Tree’ and ‘Canon Alberic’s Scrapbook’.

The world's greatest ghost stories emanate from the British Isles — the superb, donnish tales of M.R. James and those of the wilder and more exotic Celtic imaginations of such writers as Sheridan Le Fanu and Bram Stoker — and they are brought together in this handsome boxed set. It includes Charles Dicken's famous tales of the supernatural, as well as stories from other great literary figures such as Oscar Wilde, W.B. Yeats, E.F. Benson, John Buchan and Sir Walter Scott. This box will make a handsome gift for those who appreciate the macabre, the unearthly and the plain scary, and this limited edition offers a considerable saving over the purchase of the four books individually.
