by Walter Scott

Sir Walter Scott was, in his lifetime, a prodigiously prolific writer; many of his novels (like these tales at hand, and also like the fondly-remembered Ivanhoe) were set in the very Scottish counties where Scott lived.

Collected in this volume are three eerie supernatural Gothic tales: 'My Aunt Margaret's Mirror' -- the tale of a superstitious woman who fears the sight of herself in mirrors, because she's certain she'll see apparitions there; 'The Tapestried Chamber,' and 'Death of the Liard's Jock.
