About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of A Phantom Lover, by Vernon Lee. Read by Anthony Leslie. A Phantom Lover is a supernatural novella by Vernon Lee (pseudonym of Violet Paget) first published in 1886. Set in a Kentish manor house, the story concerns a portrait painter commissioned by a squire, William Oke, to produce portraits of him and his wife, the eccentric Mrs. Alice Oke, who bears a striking resemblance to a woman in a mysterious, seventeenth century painting.
