Publisher Description

Montague Rhodes James (1862-1936), who wrote as M. R. James, was an English author, mediaeval scholar, and provost of King's College, Cambridge, and of Eton College.

"The Diary of Mr. Poynter" tells the story of a book collector who buys a set of ancient diaries.

Once the curtains are hanging, strange phenomena begin to take place in the house....
