The Enchanted Type-Writer

Paperback (Independently published July 26, 2020)
The Enchanted Type-Writer is a collection of short stories by John Kendrick Bangs, published in 1899 with illustrations by Peter Newell.

The stories are part of the author's Associated Shades series, sometimes called the Hades series for its primary setting. Their genre has become known as Bangsian fantasy. There are ten stories in the collection, and ten plates from illustrations by Newell. They were first published serially in Harper's Weekly beginning August 5, 1899, including the Newell illustrations.
