"This collection will take unsuspecting readers on a strange and surprising journey. They will visit a ship adrift on the Pacific Ocean and le arn of a strange moss that grows everywhere. They will meet a weary prospector at the North Pole, burdened by the promise to a now-dead companion. They will encounter witches in a lonely mountaintop cabin, and ghouls in a murky swamp. Wherev e r t h ey take place, many of the stories revolve around children. Kids can be found dodging cruel aunts or taking vanishing lessons from ghosts, playing with haunted electrical train sets or worrying about food rotting in the refrigerator. And ju st so t hat the terror isn't too nonstop, some of the stories are downright comical, promising laughs as well as shudders.." Dust jacket has light edge wrinkling. Fine/Very Good+.

Rhymes of a Red Cross Man

William Briggs, Toronto, 1917. Fourth Edition. Hard Cover. Good/No Jacket. Fourth edition. No jacket. Staining along cover edges, light foxing on endpapers, ink name & date on front endpaper. 1917 Hard Cover. 195 pp. A collection of poetry by the well-known writer famous for his works about the Yukon Territory, this compilation includes a number of poems about World War I. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: "Robert William Service (January 16, 1874 – September 11, 1958) was a poet and writer, sometimes referred to as 'the Bard of the Yukon'. He is best-known for his writings on the Canadian North, including the poems 'The Shooting of Dan McGrew', 'The Law of the Yukon', and 'The Cremation of Sam McGee'. His writing was so expressive that his readers took him for a hard-bitten old Klondike prospector, not the later-arriving bank clerk he actually was. In addition to his Yukon works, Service also wrote poetry set in locales as diverse as South Africa, Afghanistan, and New Zealand. His writing has a decidedly British Empire point of view, and has been criticized for its Eurocentrism and use of pejoratives. However, he was a product of his time, and was able to distil his observations into beautiful descriptive texts." -- Wikipedia.
