DescriptionIt includes eighteen tales, five poems and two essays. Illustrated with thirty-five woodcuts -counting the vignette on the title page-, not twenty-six wood engravings as the title page announces. The only non-illustrated tale included is "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar."
The author of some of the illustrations is unknown, while others are designed by Julian Portch and wooden engraving by George Pike Nicholls. The illustrations are the same ones used in Tales of Mystery, Imagination, and Humor; and Poems. Illustrated with Twenty-Six Engravings on Wood (London: Henry Vizetelly, 1852) and Tales of Mystery, Imagination, and Humour. Second Series of “Readable Books”. Illustrated with Sixteen Engravings on Wood (London: Clarke, Beeton & Co., 1853).
