Hordern is the perfect narrator for James' kind of stories.

I have this book of stories, and have often read them. But having them READ to me, by such a great voice as Hordern's..is indeed a treat.

Thank you. James is new to me, Horden is an old favorite.

This is a very good story.

The wonderful Michael Horden reading this is so good.Sadly missed Michael but your voice is amazing in this creepy story

I find it scarcely believable that a fitter narrator for this story could possibly be found.

One of my favourite stories from M. R. James, thank you for uploading this! Excited to listen to the others aswell :)

When I first read this story, and I reached the moment when the door opened and the hand reached out, I jumped!  Only M. R. James ever made me jump when reading.

Sir Michael Horden, absolute velvet voice, Nothing compares, and really,
I don't think anything ever will ❤

I love this story. It’s creepy and yet has some comedy. Thanks, appreciate this upload. <3

Utterly gorgeous storey and perfect narration what a treat

Thank you. A great reading.

Wonderful. Love Michael Hordern ❤️

Beautiful voice

Quite entertaining. Thank you.

I've often felt that stories from M.R. James often saw someone being served justice. This maybe see to be deserved or as a result of an ill-thought out act. The story 'A Warning To The Curious' may be applied to many of the characters in other stories by this author.

This is the times of year when I enjoy, I was going to say dust off butyou can't dust off books on a kindle, my M. R. James books. The first time I heard a story by this author was the Christmas dramatisations on BBC, and it was The Ash Tree, a very good story to begin. I thoroughly enjoyed how Christopher Lee told the story. When I read an M.R. James story I try to read it and imagine the voice of Christopher Lee. I like to savour the story and not read it in a rush.

Michael Horden also has a lovely style and voice, reading these stories. I liked him in 'Whistle And I'll Come To You'.

Thank you very much for uploading these videos.

Magnificent tale !

Beautiful

Thanks, These are very enjoyable.

Many thanks! Well done.
