I don't know, when did the author die (not his son)?

See:

For your information, there is also a copy in English on the site. Thank you/

There are a number of English translations on the site. That's why I recommended it to you

Many thanks. The remark about having to read ancient Greek threw me.

I noticed that places like mobileread and gutenberg have the full collection of M.R. James' Ghost Stories of an Antiquary, More Ghost Stories of an Antiquary, and A Thin Ghost and Others - but not the collection A Warning to the Curious, and I don't think that all the remaining stories from The Collected Stories of M.R James are available either. I have not been able to find the e-texts; yet all stories were published prior to the author's death in 1936 and the U.K's life+70 would make the stories available for public domain in 2006 - if I understand copyright rules correctly.

I'm just surprised that I haven't found the e-texts available anywhere online that I've searched. Is anyone working on a mobipocket edition to round out the rest of James' stories or is there a true copyright reason why they aren't available.

FYI: A Warning to the curious, available on this site, is just the short story - not the collection of stories.

If you find a text online, fiver, then I'll gladly convert it.
There's no copyright reason for their non-availability, as far as I know. It's almost certainly just that no-one has got as far as scanning a copy.

May I please request Grimms Fairy Tales for the Kindle ?
I saw it in LRF but not in Mobi here in our book collection/library.
Thank you !

OK. I'll do one. It will probably be uploaded in a couple of days.

JAdams · 10-06-2009, 07:29 PM

That is wonderful !
Thanks for doing that for us.

I've now uploaded three different versions, one illustrated.

I may yet have a go at the Lucy and Walter Crane illustrated version too, in a few days.
