Su infancia transcurrió entre altas y tupidas bibliotecas repletas de libros antiguos, en su mayoría textos religiosos, en el condado de Kent, Los padres de M.R. James, optaron por brindarle una educación acorde con sus preferencias y lo enviaron al prestigioso Eton College. Continuó sus estudios en la ciudad de Cambridge, en el King's College, otro colegio al cual sólo unos pocos tenían acceso.

Sus cuentos creados fueron publicados gracias a sus amigos editores, Historias de fantasmas de un anticuario (1904), su primera obra impresa de este género y que reúne 8 cuentos fundamentales para explicar la forma de entender el miedo en la literatura que este autor creó acaso sin querer pero cuya influencia fue fundamental en décadas posteriores.

1.- "El Fresno" (28:03) 2.- "El conde Magnus" (25:03)3.- "El Álbum del canónigo Alberico" (25:08)
