A Vignette was James’s last ghost story, writen in 1935 and was published in The London Mercury in November of 1936 after his death. It is also his most autobiographical, and recalls his childhood home, the Rectory at Great Livermere in Suffolk. “You are asked to think of the spacious garden of a country rectory,” the story begins. And this apparent personal account of his youth directly concerns his first intimations of “uncanny fancies and fear.”
