The Shadows Around Us - Authentic Tales of the Supernatural The incidents set forth in the ensuing pages are as completely testified to as written facts well may be-that is to say, infinitely more care has been taken to verify and substantiate them than is taken to authenticate the matter-of-fact news published in a daily newspaper and accepted by everybody without question. For several of the cases the compiler is indebted to the investigations of the Society for Psychical Research. THE VAULT AT AHRENSBURG, THE LICHWAKE AT MONIFIETH, THE STRANGE EXPERIENCE OF MR. ROBERT BRUCE, THE WRAITH OF FRANCIS TANTUM, THE APPARITION OF LIEUTENANT COLT, THE STRANGE CASE OF ESTHER T--, THE POLTERGEIST OF LEIGNITZ CASTLE, THE BINSTEAD MYSTERY, THE TRANSLATION OF MAURICE TULLING, THE HAUNTED HOUSE AT WILLINGTON, NO. 15 ST. SWITHIN'S LANE, THE STRANGE CASE OF EMELIE SAGEE, THE HAUNTING OF WILLIAM MOIR, CURIOUS INCIDENT AT BEAUMARIS, A DOUBLE CASE
A tale of grinding poverty and struggle, A Child of the Jago follows Dicky Perrott - a boy who wishes to escape London's impoverished and corruption-riddled East End for a better life. First published at the end of the 19th century when industrialised London was in a state of dire impoverishment, the story is not a typical rags to riches tale - the Perrott family, and their friends and enemies, must struggle for their very survival in the harsh environment they live within. Tension and desperation amid the crime and roughness is constant in the overcrowded slums of the East End, with fortune hard to come by and danger ever present. The novel opens with a vivid and stark image of a hot midsummer's day - the residents of the Jago sleeping outside in the roads to avoid the heat and stench of their own homes. Illustrating the desperate situation, a robbery promptly occurs in which the victim is relieved of the very clothes on his back.
