Gothic Tales
The stories in this collection combine realism and fantasy. The themes are familiar from Gaskell’s novels, but their treatment is revealingly different, ranging from ghost stories and comic fantasy, to a realistic tale of 17th-century witch trials.

A different side to Mrs Gaskell,
 Â
For anyone interested in seeing a different side to the writer who produced ‘Cranford’ and ‘Wives and Daughters’ I would heartily recommend this collection of stories which show a darker side to her imagination. They range from straightforward hauntings to ancient curses and witch hunts in 17th century Salem. There is even a pastiche of fairy tales in here.
