The Shadow

The Shadow by Edith Nesbit is offered here in a clean English digital edition prepared for fluent ebook reading. The work stands within classics and gives modern readers direct access to a public-domain classic with navigable structure and a restrained typographic presentation. The opening pages establish the book's atmosphere with this first movement: This is not an artistically rounded off ghost story, and nothing is explained in it, and there seems to be no reason why any of it should have happened.
