"The Haunted House" by Hilaire Belloc, published by Harper & Brothers in 1928, is a notable work of fiction illustrated by G. K. Chesterton. This edition is a first edition, as stated on the copyright page, and was printed in the United States. Belloc, a prolific author known for his wit and satire, explores themes of the supernatural in this compelling narrative. The book is further distinguished by Chesterton's illustrations, adding a unique artistic dimension to the text. This copy is an ex-library edition, once part of the Grand Junction Public Library collection, which may appeal to collectors of library editions. The book's subject matter delves into the eerie and mysterious, making it a fascinating read for enthusiasts of horror and ghost stories. The condition of the book is fair, with noticeable wear consistent with library use, but it remains a significant piece for collectors interested in early 20th-century supernatural fiction. ##
