About the Author

Edith Wharton was born in New York City on January 24, 1862. Her and her husband, Teddy, lived a life of relative ease with homes in New York, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. Edith became a prolific writer and produced over 40 books in 40 years. She was the first woman awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, an honorary Doctorate of Letters from Yale University, and a full membership in the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Edith continued to write until a stroke took her life in August 1937.

Reviews

[This] series of Christmas ghost stories, miniature books chosen and illustrated by the cartoonist Seth... [offers] chills-and charm.
*New York Times*

I just bought my set of these and they... are... PERFECT. I hope they do these every year.
*Patton Oswalt*

Each of these tiny books-20 volumes now-is cleverly illustrated by the cartoonist known as Seth. Even smaller than a Christmas card, they make fun literary stocking stuffers.
*Washington Post*

Seth's evocative covers and black-and-white interior illustrations provide the perfect accompaniment to the stories ... Highly recommended for the horror lovers looking for something special in this post-Halloween season.
*Cemetary Dance*

The Seth editions are harbingers of a Christmas ghost story revival.
