Este volumen recopila nueve cuentos que la autora escribió entre 1887 y 1910. Si bien Nesbit es más conocida por sus obras de corte infantil, a lo largo de su vida también escribió una gran cantidad de relatos fantasmagóricos y sobrenaturales en los que plasmaba aspectos de su propia vida relacionados con las frustraciones, el miedo y sus deseos. Estos nueve cuentos no solo nos permiten ser testigos de la prosa de Nesbit en un campo que no es el infantil, sino que también suponen una ventana a su alma.
