The characters, who are types of our civilization, scramble about trying either to fulfill or to ward off what has been seen... a capable suspense story." - Sullivan, The Penguin Encyclopedia of Horror and the Supernatural, p. 62.

Burnett, Frances Hodgson. THE WHITE PEOPLE...
New York and London: Harper & Brothers Publishers, [1917] First edition. First printing with "Published February, 1917" and code "A-R" on copyright page. Octavo, pp. [1-12] 1-111 [112] [113-116: blank] [note: first two and last two leaves are blanks used as front and rear free endpapers and paste-downs], four inserted plates with illustrations by Elizabeth Shippen Green, original pictorial green cloth, front and spine panels stamped in gold. Supernatural novella set in contemporary Scotland about a little girl who can see ghosts ("the white people") that are unobserved by everyone else around her. A fairly typical Burnett tale, depicting the loneliness of a child despite her rich surroundings, a bit sentimental perhaps, but with a good deal of genuine pathos as well. "... her later ventures into the supernatural, The Secret Garden (1911) and The White People (1917) contain some of her most artistic effects." - Quinn, American Fiction, p. 407. These two stories have been successfully filmed in recent years, and her power to move one is undeniable, despite the strident objections of those modernists such as F. Scott Fitzgerald, who, in an aside, once referred to "the vicious little tales of Frances Hodgson Burnett." Surely she must have seemed the epitome of all that the modernists found hateful in the high Victorian sensibility, with her lush emotionalism and idealism -- and huge popular success. Bleiler (1978), p. 35. Reginald 02253. BAL 2125 (state C of sheets; binding state A). Some foxing to front free endpaper and last leaf of text (interaction with jacket flaps), a very good, externally bright copy in about good pictorial dust jacket with chipping at head and tail of spine panel, corners, and along top edge of front panel, as well a several closed tears.

The first published volume of this series, the annual for 1984 being published in 1990. This eight volume series, the first true literary annual of fantastic literature, attempts to provide a complete bibliographical record of all English-language science fiction, fantasy, and horror published in books and perioduicals for each calendar year from 1984 through 1991. Initially, the data supplied in these books was based on the monthly books received column in Locus, the Newspaper of the Science Fiction Field, but the bibliographical base was later expanded to include all known material published each year (received or not). Hal Hall's "research index" was added to the book beginning with the 1988 annual volume. Overall, a valuable source of information for researchers in the genre, but as a primary bibliography of books for this period not a subsitute for Reginald, Science Fiction and Fantasy Literature 1975-1991 (1992).
