Nothing memorable. Robinson was an antiquary and these read like collected tales which have been given a rewrite to dress them up, becoming rather verbose in the process. I could be persuaded to give these another star if I hadn't recently read something better.

BORING! and annoying. There is nothing supernatural or horrendous happening. And the writing is bad too. I never saw so many 'indeed's in one text. Urgh. Waste of time and money.
