[De Morgan (John)] He, a companion to She.

London, Greening & Co., 1906.

First edition, first impression. 8vo. Original orange cloth blocked in gilt.

A scarce title, and a quietly distinctive supernatural novel by Balfour (1846–1909), a British sinologist, editor and novelist who spent much of his career in Shanghai, where he served as editor of the North China Daily News and other publications. The novel concerns a lame teenage boy surrounded by friendly ghosts, who ultimately joins his dead mother in Heaven.
