Description: Strange Things Among Us by H. Spicer (First Edition)Authors: H. SpicerLocation: LondonPublisher: Chapman & HallDate: 1863Edition: First EditionFeatures: Red Cloth. A Book of Ghost stories. Henry Spicer was a noted Dramatist and writer of Spiritualism. "Spicer was, according to Boase, an "intimate friend" of Dickens. He dedicated his Old Styles's to Dickens, "with the regard and gratitude of the author." He presented to Dickens a copy of his Strange Things among Us (Stonehouse, Catalogue). In Some Experiences of a Barrister's Life (I, 140), William Ballantine, writing of Dickens, recorded: "I and Mr. Spicer, a friend of his and mine, had put him up at the Union club, and, to our great grief, the news of his death reached us upon the day on which he would have been elected." Dickens Journal online 11/5/24. "When the evening lamps are lighted, or rather just antecedent to that operation — say in the little interval which follows the retirement of the ladies from the dining-room, and precedes the appearance of the laughing sceptics below — a grain of ghost talk mingles, not inharmoniously, with the gentle domestic topics invoked by the subdued light and confidential feeling of the hour."Book Condition: Good+: Bumping and rubbing to corners and spine ends and slight tanning to spine.HCX22633-1
