A View From a Hill

M. R. James, born in 1862 in Kent, England, transformed the ghost story genre in the 20th century, establishing the 'antiquarian ghost story' with his first collection published in 1904. His late start in fiction writing did not hinder his impact, as modern scholars recognize his significant contributions to the genre. This edition features his classic works, presented in an affordable format, along with a new introductory biography that highlights his life and literary achievements.
