The Midnight Hearse and more Ghosts (by Elliott O'Donnell)

Description: Condition Continued: There are no markings in the book. No attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere.You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. It is in pretty nice shape. There is a little scuffing at both spine ends and at the ends of the middle edges. There is a scuff and a very small closed tear at the juncture between the front cover and spine off the bottom edge, and there is a very tiny loss off the top edge of the rear cover just adjacent to the top edge of the spine. The flaps are in excellent condition, also very clean (as is the front and rear cover). The jacket is NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all. I have always had it in a fitted protective cover. Taplinger Publishing, New York, 1969. Hardcover in Dust Jacket. Written by Elliott O'Donnell. Arranged by H. Ludlam. First US Edition (on the copyright page 'First published in the United States in 1969.' Taplinger Publishing= 'for books previously published abroad first published (year).') This book was first published in England in 1965. Any seller of the rare Taplinger edition stating 1965 as the year of publishing is doing so, let us say, mistakingly. From the front flap of the dust jacket: 'In this collection of true ghost stories taken from the files of Britain's renowned ghost-hunter, each case, as in the author's other popular collection, has been thoroughly verified with all available sources. Even the few striking legends which are included-- each of them a meld of local tradition and hard fact-- have been accorded the same painstaking personal research. Writing in a spare, gripping, direct style, Elliott O'Donnell tells of phantom buses and trains-- and even a phantom plane; of the strangling oak of Nannau Woods, haunted churches, compacts with the dead; of banshees and fairies today and in old Brittany, Ireland and Wales.He also includes more of his own encounters with the supernatural: on a lonely road in Scotland, on beach and moor, and in a house filled with the hate of two dead women where, through the appearance of a ghost, O'Donnell uncovers a ghastly crime committed by mother and daughter 25 years before.'
