 THE SECRET GLORY

The strange story of an English Public School boy, who prefers the beauty of Gothic arches seen against the sunset sky to the glory of athletic fame on the football or cricket field.

THINGS NEAR AND FAR

An autobiographical piece of writing that sears the soul of the reader even as the actual experiences recorded palpably seared the soul of the writer.

FAR OFF THINGS

A chronicle of happiness and horror, of transport and torment, in the midst of neglected, undeserved poverty. A moving and delicious and superb rendering of the life of a remarkable man and a great prose artist.

THE THREE IMPOSTORS

"A narrative that places Machen little if any behind Stevenson."

"A superb thriller."

ORNAMENTS IN JADE

A strange book of short tales concerned with mystic ornaments, strung on a single thread, or theme. The edition will be limited to 950 numbered copies, signed by the author, designed by and specially printed by the Pynson Printers. $10.00 net.

THE LONDON ADVENTURE

"The most amazing things are latent in the commonest." With this as a basic idea Machen writes a series of sketches of strange adventures in the byways of London, and of his own life.

THE SHINING PYRAMID

Arthur Machen describes the contents of this book as "Scraps and odds and ends from my workshop." It is a collection of articles, sketches and stories printed originally in magazines and newspapers and selected by Mr. Machen for preservation.
