Lettice Galbraith is herself no less mysterious than the stories she wrote. She appeared on the literary scene in 1893, published a novel and two collections of stories in that year, a further story ("The Blue Room") in 1897, and then nothing more. Readers of "The Empty Picture Frame," "The Case of Sir Nigel Otterburne," "The Trainer's Ghost" and "The Seance Room" will recognise the Victorian spirit at its finest.
