"... Christmas is a time in which, of all times in the year, the memory of every remediable sorrow, wrong, and trouble in the world around us, should be active with us, not less than our own experiences. ..."The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain, a Fancy for Christmas-Time, bookends the series of five Christmas stories by Charles Dickens (1812-1870) that began in 1843 with A Christmas Carol.Originally published in 1848, this dark yet redemptive novella strikes a balance between the pathos and comedic characterizations found in the greatest of Dickens' works.This edition was adapted from the 1913 Chapman & Hall "cheap" Christmas Books edition (originally collected 1852) and the 1907 J.M. Dent and Co./E.P. Dutton & Co."gift" edition.

This volume was produced by Thomas Olman Todd in 1905 at the request of Spiritualist author Emma Hardinge Britten in order to make a "splendid pamphlet" on the origins of Spiritualism available to a wider reading audience. It is drawn from materials found in her own comprehensive book on the subject, Modern American Spiritualism (1869), as well as the first-hand accounts of events found in A Report of the Mysterious Noises heard in the house of Mr. John D. Fox ..., collected by E.E. Lewis in 1848, and from Robert Dale Owen's Footfalls on the Boundary of Another World (1860).All three authors of these primary sources had been personally acquainted with the Fox Family of Hydesville, NY, in whose home the "spirit rappings" that precipitated the American Spiritualist movement occurred in 1848, making Hydesville a fundamental work in the history and origins of the American Spiritualist movement.Rarely found in print, this edition has been newly edited and typeset for ease of reading while maintaining the style and unabridged content of the 1905 original.
