Sir Michael Hordern's M.R. James Readings

Many years ago I bought one of the Argo double cassettes (remember those?) of... well, the title of this blog post will tell you what I bought. Now, after many years of bootlegs and general nonsense, there seems to be a legit downloadable version of the readings. They can be purchased at Audible here.

The cheap cover hints at a cheap production, and sure enough it is a barebones effort. However, all the readings are here. (Warning - there are several Quick Classics MRJ's but this is only one containing all the readings.) The contents are:

'The Diary of Mr. Poynter'

'Casting the Runes'

'Oh Whistle...'

'Count Magnus'

'The Ash-Tree'

'Canon Alberic's Scrap-Book'

'The Stalls of Barchester Cathedral'

'Lost Hearts'

'Rats'

'The Haunted Dolls' House'

'There Was a Man Dwelt...'

'The Mezzotint'

That's over six hours of fine listening!
