Thanks to Sara of gorgeous celebration of vintage Gothic paperbacks, My Love Haunted Heart, for providing the details for this one. Sara writes: "There’s a pencil / charcoal frontispiece by Arthur Watts from The Strand magazine, February 1908, to accompany the story The Third Drug by Edith Nesbit and he is also credited with the front cover illustration. In addition to the introduction, each story is accompanied by a short biography and notes on the story."
