World War, 1914-1918 -- Prisoners and prisons, Turkish
The Provost of Eton needs no introduction as a past master of the art of
making our flesh creep, and those who have enjoyed his earlier books may
rest assured that his hand has lost none of its blood-curdling cunning.
Neither is it necessary to remind them that Dr. James's inexhaustible
stories of archaeological erudition furnish him with a unique power of
giving his gruesome tales a picturesque setting, and heightening by
their literary and antiquarian charm the exquisite pleasure derived from
thrills of imaginary terror. This latter quality has never been more
happily displayed than in the stories contained in the present volume,
which we submit with great confidence to the judgment of all who
appreciate--and who does not?--a good old-fashioned hair-raising ghost
story.

General Editor: Professor A. A. COCK.
The present age is seeing an unprecedented advance in educational theory
and practice; its whole outlook on the ideals and methods of teaching is
being widened. The aim of this new series is to present the considered
views of teachers of wide experience, and eminent ability, upon the
changes in method involved in this development, and upon the problems
which still remain to be solved, in the several branches of teaching
with which they are most intimately connected. It is hoped, therefore,
that these volumes will be instructive not only to teachers, but to all
who are interested in the progress of education.
Each volume contains an index and a comprehensive bibliography of the
subject with which it deals.
