About
Ghost Gleams,the stories, which feature a range of other-worldly visitants, from haunted beds and vengeful ancestors to spectral cats and prehistoric animals, were later collected together and published as Ghost Gleams, with the author noting that “the gruesome ones met with the best reception”. This first-ever reprint of Ghost Gleams includes a lengthy introduction by Richard Dalby, who presents the most complete biography of Wintle ever assembled, as well as a 1903 article about real ghosts, and an account of life on Caldey Island at the time Wintle was there, written by one of the “eight dear boys” to whom Ghost Gleams is dedicated.
