Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good - Original. W.R. LOHSE (illustratore). FIRST EDITION & FIRST PRINTING. A rare and highly sought-after first UK edition of this superb anthology of supernatural tales, originally published in the U.S. in 1958 by Franklin Watts. This Chatto & Windus 1960 edition, printed in Great Britain, is the true first UK printing, and includes a wonderfully eerie collection of witch themed stories from celebrated authors such as Oscar Wilde, Walter de la Mare, Eleanor Farjeon, Arthur Ransome, Sigrid Undset, Andrew Lang, and many others. - The volume features 192 pages of spooky tales, including seven striking double-page black and white illustrations by W.R. Lohse, whose bold, macabre style enhances the haunting tone of the collection. The pages are clean and unmarked throughout, with only light age-browning, consistent with the book's vintage. The decorated endpapers are gently toned but intact and complete. - Dust Jacket: This copy retains its original wraparound dust jacket, which is now preserved in a removable plastic archival sleeve for long-term protection. The jacket features a striking and sinister design: witches dancing around a blazing cauldron, with sparks flying and fires roaring, while on the back panel, two ghoulish vultures look on with eerie delight. It is a truly atmospheric piece of dustjacket art. - Due to damage across two separate copies of this book, a thoughtful and careful repair was carried out: the jacket has been restored using matching pieces from a second damaged copy, preserving the original first issue design. Repairs have been made like for like and mainly to the reverse, with minimal visible interruption to the artwork. These repairs have resulted in a more complete, presentable copy of the scarce jacket. Additionally, the bottom of the spine has been discreetly retouched using yellow and blue felt pen, solely to reinstate missing areas of the design. This is clearly shown in the listing images for full transparency. - Binding; The blue cloth boards with gilt lettering to the spine are in superb condition ? clean, bright, and firmly bound. A very well-preserved example overall, with the feel of a careful and loved book. - Contents ; Introduction from Helen Hoke. - Includes stories by: Augusta Baker, Arthur Bowie Chrisman, Rachel Field, Arthur Ransome, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sigrid Undset, Mary Gould Davis, Margaret Emb, Charles J. Finger, Seumas MacManus, Joseph Jacobs, Oscar Wilde, Eleanore M. Jewett, H. Herda, Elizabeth Coatsworth, Eleanor Farjeon, Frances Jenkins Olcott, Andrew Lang, Walter de la Mare, Elsie Masson, Margery Bailey ? and even a scene from Shakespeare's Macbeth. - Summary: A rare opportunity to acquire this classic of mid-century children's horror and fantasy in its true UK first edition, with its evocative and scary original dust jacket attractively restored and preserved. A brilliant collection of macabre folklore and supernatural storytelling, and a must for collectors of vintage children's books, witchcraft in literature, and eerie illustration. - END - Professionally packaged and dispatched with care.
