Harold Begbie is the author of The Amazing Dreams of Andrew Latter.
The Amazing Dreams of Andrew Latter,such a person is Andrew Latter, who is able, via the medium of this dream world, to view the chain of events leading up to an otherwise inexplicable occurrence, and throw light on matters which appear baffling to the rest of the world. Such is Latter’s reputation that he is even consulted by Scotland Yard, as in “The Flying Blindness”, in which a vicious murderer, stalking the streets of London, seems to vanish into thin air after each horrific attack. In his introduction, Jack Adrian examines the busy life of Harold Begbie and the author’s varied writings. He also discusses the confrontation between Begbie and Arthur Machen regarding the latter’s “Bowmen of Mons” tale: a confrontation played out in full view of the public, and one in which Machen almost certainly did not stand a chance.
