C. Philippo - Victorian Christmas Ghost Stories # 5

[toff]

I was just listing ones up to my volume, there's been more since.

I'm not aware of any anthologies prior to 1978 that specifically reprint Victorian Christmas ghost stories by multiple authors. Why that year and why not earlier?  Not sure. There were collections of Dickens' Christmas stories and a volume of Leonard Kip's Christmas stories (and perhaps others like these), ones not focused on Christmas ghosts, and not including multiple authors. 

That's remarkable about your library!
