Philip Pullman homages MR James with this story set in the Dark Materials universe about two art collectors, in a fusty old Oxford college naturally, discussing the curious histories of a painting and a bronze. With the illustrations it makes for a very quick read, but it's atmospheric and pleasingly off kilter.
