Richard Dalby Books Overview
The Virago Book of Ghost Stories
Gathering together deliciously chilling tales from the three highly acclaimed volumes of Virago ghost stories, this collection features stories by A. S. Byatt, Angela Carter, Charlotte Bront , Antonia Fraser, Penelope Lively, Ruth Rendell, Edith Wharton, and many more. Here lost loves, past enmities, and unwanted memories mingle with the inexplicable as unquiet souls return to repay kindnesses, settle scores, and haunt the imagination. All of the writers demonstrate a subtle power to delight and chill at the same time as they explore the ghostly margins of the supernatural.
Modern Ghost Stories by Eminent Women Writers
The twenty seven women writers included here have certainly done their jobs well. You are sure to shiver while reading these well told tales. A. S. Byatt, A. L. Barker, Richmal Crompton, Celia Fremlin, Penelope Lively, Daphne du Maurier, Ruth Rendell, and Jean Rhys are among the writers whose stories reveal the extraordinary range and development of a genre that has thrilled readers for over two hundred years.
Twelve Gothic Tales
In this anthology we see a dozen fine examples of Gothic literature, spanning over one hundred and fifty years from Mary Shelley and Charles Maturin’s classic fiction up to an unexpected master of the macabre, Gerald Durrell. All of the tales feature sinister settings such as castles and ancient houses, along with protagonists who are haunted by the tyranny of the past and physically or else spiritually incarcerated by their circumstances. Designed to provide an overview of the genre, and offering a balance of classic and more unusual stories, this is a book that will appeal to both the newcomer and dedicated collector of Gothic fiction.
The Golden Age of Children’s Book Illustration
For this wonderful collection of classic children’s book illustrations from the 1860s to the 1930s, Dalby has written biographies for more than fifty of the artists whose talents helped create the Golden Age. Includes more than 150 illustrations both color plates and black and white drawings, which have been reproduced with painstaking fidelity to the originals.
