In his lifetime, Harry was a rogue and a rake. Now he's a ghost--visible only to those in love. He roams the halls of Steadford Abbey, atoning for his romantic sins by helping others find romance.sometimes with the most unexpected--and charming--results. Giles Steadford has inherited the Abbey--and is about to see it for the first time. He arrives, having been wounded in battle, and creates instant chaos. Giles is put under the care of Elizabeth, a nurse who finds him as cantankerous a patient as she's ever had. Giles, in turn, is too jaded from war to appreciate her tender ministrations. But if Harry has his way, Elizabeth will not only heal Giles' pain, but heal his heart--and open it to at true and lasting love. Book

Mackenzie's version of the German mediaeval classic was first published in 1860 as a Christmas volume, but stocks were swiftly exhausted and a second edition prepared to meet continuing demand. Mackenzie produced a lengthy additional preface to this second edition, attributing the success of the venture partly to 'the generous and unanimous verdict of the press' but also, surely, to the wonderful illustrations by 'Alfred Crowquill' (A.H. Forrester). Many would-be Christmas readers must have been disappointed for Mazkenzie dates his preface Christmas Eve, but scholars of mediaeval romance and fantasy will find this a most useful edition replete with extensive historical preface and bibliographical and other scholarly appendices. The US edition (T&F of Boston) of the same year is the first American edition of the tale in English. Scarce.

"The MS. of 'The Marble faun' is in a private collection in England, and, in fact, was never in this country, as the American edition was set up from proof-sheets of the English edition." -- Cathcart, Bibliography of Nathaniel Hawthorne, Cleveland, 1905. "Every young sculptor seems to think that he must give the world some specimen of indecorous womanhood, and call it Eve, Venus, a Nymph, or any name that may apologize for a lack of decent clothing" - Hawthorne in the Marble Faun, Chap. 14.
