Publisher's Synopsis
CURIOUS, IF TRUE: Strange Tales is a collection of five dark Victorian tales of suspense, horror, mood, and mystery by Elizabeth Gaskell, published variously between 1852 and 1861. Includes "The Old Nurse's Story," "The Poor Clare", "Lois The Witch", "The Grey Woman", and "Curious, If True".In these short stories, never previously published together, Mrs. Gaskell (1810-1865) unleashes her fascination with the macabre and uncanny. These short fictions provide outlets for a strange and powerful imagination.
