Time period/location story takes place?
Part of a series?
Did you read it in the 70s or much later?

The Phantom Fisherboy Tales od Mystery and Magic by Ruth Ainsworth? It looks like it was first published in 1974.

Some examples of anthologies with multiple authors including The Turn of the Screw by Henry James. Scroll to the bottom of the Worldcat.org pages to see a list of the stories.
