Complete and unabridged, with 24 full-page plates by Richard Wilson, Thomas Gainsborough and John Taylor. Dublin in 1710, a Jacobite plot, and a house on the quays where nobody is what they claim. Le Fanu's first novel, written before he turned to the ghost stories he is remembered for, and already full of the dread he would later concentrate. This edition adds a gallery of 24 plates after Gainsborough, Copley, Downman and Sandby, and 20 illustrations restored and coloured for the first time.
