Description: A dollmaker works late into the evening to repair a broken doll. Outside, London's fog presses against the windows. Inside, in the dim workshop light, something moves among the shelves—something that shouldn't move at all. "The Doll's Ghost" first appeared in The Undesired Princess collection (1897), later included in Wandering Ghosts (1911). F. Marion Crawford (1854-1909): American novelist resident in Italy, author of historical romances and supernatural tales praised by M.R. James for their atmospheric restraint. Christmas Presents!
