«The House in the Picture and Abbot Thomas' Treasure» is a graded horror reader by M. R. James (Macmillan Readers, paperback, 64 pages, in English).
It brings together two ghost stories by M. R. James adapted as graded reading for beginner-level English students. In one, a scholar contemplating a house in a painting has an unsettling experience; in the other, the search for an abbot's treasure awakens something supernatural.
This edition is part of the Macmillan Readers 2005 collection, at Beginner level for students of English as a foreign language (ELT/ESL).
Intended for basic-level English students who want to practise reading with short, adapted horror stories.
Montague Rhodes James was an English medievalist scholar and author who served as provost of King's College, Cambridge (1905–1918), and of Eton College (1918–1936) as well as Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge (1913–1915). James's scholarly work is still highly regarded, but he is best remembered for his ghost stories, which are considered by many critics and authors as the finest in the English language and widely influential on modern horror.
