(GS) (1956)
A Folio Society selection of seven de la Mare ghost stories, edited by Kenneth Hopkins and with lithographs by Barnett Freedman. It included ‘Out of the Deep’ from R (1923), ‘The Green Room’ from OE (1930), ‘The House’ and ‘A Revenant’ from WBO (1936), and ‘The Quincunx’, ‘An Anniversary’ and ‘Bad Company’ from Beg (1955).
Tales
(1971)
This was a selection of eight very early de la Mare stories, all of them serialized (except possibly ‘A:B:O.’) but none later collected, that Edward Wagenknecht embarked on in about 1952 with de la Mare’s approval. They were ‘Kismet’ (1895), ‘The Hangman Luck’ (1895), ‘A Mote’ (1896), ‘The Village of Old Age’ (1896), ‘The Moon’s Miracle’ (1897), ‘The Giant’ (1901), ‘De Mortuis’ (1901) and ‘A:B:O.’ (dated 1896 or earlier according to Theresa Whistler). Wagenknecht wrote an introduction and the volume was published by Arkham House, Sauk City, Wisconsin. See also the CT (1950) entry and the Uncollected Stories sections in
