Sheep's-Head and Babylon: And Other Stories of Yesterday and To-Day, first published in 1929 by John Lane, The Bodley Head, is a collection of eighteen short stories, ranging in period from the seventeenth century to the 1920s and set in various locations, including England, Scotland, France, and Italy. The themes vary as much as the periods and settings; there are tales of the occult, of murder and tragedy, along with cynical studies of modern life. Some are cruel, others are fantastic, and all are 'uncommonly good' (Illustrated London News, 16 November 1929). This new edition of the collection includes a 19-page biographical essay by Gina R. Collia: 'Margaret Campbell: The Lady with the Hundred Names'.
