Reseña del editor
You remember that you were puzzled when I told you I had heard some thing from the owls or if not puzzled (for I know you have some experience of these things), you were at any rate anxious to know exactly how it happened. Perhaps the time has now come for you to be told. It was really luck, and not any skill of mine, that put me in the way of it; luck, and also being ready to believe more than I could see. I have promised not to put down on paper the name of the wood where it happened :that can keep till we meet; but all the rest I can tell exactly as it came about.

Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. First Edition, First Printing. Bright red cloth, gilt spine titles; 8.5 inches tall; 101 [3] pages. Illustrations and dust jacket by Anthony Maitland; Introduction by Rosemary Pardoe. Originally published in 1922 by Edward Arnold, London. Ref: Bleiler: Checklist of Fantastic Literature, p161. Limited edition # 223 of 300. No Flaws or Blemishes but minimal shelf handling; Still Gift Quality. Unread. Originally published in 1922, The Five Jars is a captivating blend of children's adventure and supernatural mystery, marking a rare departure from M.R. James's more famous adult ghost stories. The enchanting tale follows young Roland, who discovers five magical jars hidden in his aunt's attic. Each jar contains a unique adventure, transporting him to extraordinary realms filled with fantastical creatures and perilous challenges. James weaves an intricate narrative where childhood innocence collides with the unknown, inviting readers into a world of imagination Through vivid prose, he captures the essence of curiosity and the allure of secret worlds hidden just beyond ordinary perception. The book not only delights with its imaginative landscapes but also subtly explores themes of courage, friendship, and the transformative power of discovery. The Five Jars is an important text in the evolution of fantasy and children's literature, showcasing the potential for eerie and imaginative storytelling beyond typical adventure genres. It represents James's broader contribution to supernatural fiction, influencing later generations of writers who blended the strange and otherworldly into children's narratives. James's legacy continues to influence writers of supernatural fiction and horror, with his work remaining a touchstone for modern ghost stories. His stories' blend of erudition, horror, and psychological depth has earned him a lasting place in the history of English literature.
