I read this one because it was available but I am also glad to have read it. Lamb House is a house in Rye, East Sussex and was built by James Lamb. King George took shelter there during a storm in 1726. The same night Lamb's wife gave birth to a son who they named George. Henry James and E. F. Benson used this house to write during the summer months. Lamb House is the subject of Joan Aiken's supernatural book The Haunting of Lamb House (1993), comprising three novellas about residents of the house at different times, including James and Benson (both of whom also wrote ghost stories).(Wikipedia).
While the story is fiction, it has a feel of being real because of the house being real, King George having stayed there, as well as later Henry James and Benson.
The first story of Toby is the predominant story and Henry James and Benson sections are smaller and least developed. (
