    M. R. James

    Paperback (Independently published, Nov. 27, 2019)
    Here is a fascinating journey into a world none of us mere mortals can usually see: a world of weird enchantment, where all is not as it seems, where fantastic beauty is commonplace, where strange beings are hidden just out of sight everywhere, and yet disturbing danger lurks around every corner… Told in James’ matter-of-fact prose, this journey into the unknown stirs rich colours into a cloud of imaginative fancy, stunningly creating an alternative world, just next to ours, which is both captivating and eerie.
  • Old Testament legends: being stories out of some of the less-known apocryphal books of the Old Testament

    M. R. James

    Paperback (Leopold Classic Library, Sept. 8, 2015)
    About the Book Religious groups include different books in their biblical canons, and sometimes divide or combine books. The Christian Bibles range from 73 books in the Catholic Church Bible, and 66 books in the Protestant canon, to 81 books in the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church canon. The Tanakh, or Hebrew Bible contains 24 books divided into three parts: 5 books of the Torah ("teaching"); the Nevi'im ("prophets"); and the Ketuvim ("writings"). The first part of Christian Bibles is called the Old Testament, and contains the above 24 books but is divided into 39 books, and is ordered differently. The Catholic Church and Eastern Christian churches maintain that certain deuterocanonical books and passages are part of the Old Testament. The second part is the New Testament, which contains 27 books; the four Canonical gospels, the Acts of the Apostles, and 21 Epistles or letters, and the Book of Revelation. The Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, and Assyrian Christian churches have some minor differences in their lists of books.About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.

    Paperback (Independently published, June 25, 2020)
    Here is a fascinating journey into a world none of us mere mortals can usually see: a world of weird enchantment, where all is not as it seems, where fantastic beauty is commonplace, where strange beings are hidden just out of sight everywhere, and yet disturbing danger lurks around every corner… Told in James’ matter-of-fact prose, this journey into the unknown stirs rich colours into a cloud of imaginative fancy, stunningly creating an alternative world, just next to ours, which is both captivating and eerie.You remember that you were puzzled when I told you I had heard something from the owls—or if not puzzled (for I know you have some experience of these things), you were at any rate anxious to know exactly how it happened. Perhaps the time has now come for you to be told.It was really luck, and not any skill of mine, that put me in the way of it; luck, and also being ready to believe more than I could see. I have promised not to put down on paper the name of the wood where it happened: that can keep till we meet; but all the rest I can tell exactly as it came about.
  • The Legends of King Arthur and His Knights

    . James

    Paperback (James Knowles, June 29, 2017)
    The Publishers have asked me to authorise a new edition, in my own name, of this little book-now long out of print-which was written by me thirty-five years ago under the initials J.T.K. In acceding to their request I wish to say that the book as now published is merely a word-for-word reprint of my early effort to help to popularise the Arthur legends.
