M R James read by Michael Hordern

Michael Hordern reads MR James The Complete Argo Collection In the 1980s, a series of four double audio cassette collections were released by Argo Records featuring, in total, nineteen unabridged MR James stories narrated by Michael Hordern. These are my preferred readings of MR James. It's just a shame there are so few stories in total. The 4 collections were titled:- Ghost Stories (1982) More Ghost Stories (1984) A Warning to the Curious and other Ghost Stories (1985) Number 13 and other Ghost Stories (1988) Ghost Stories 1982 The Ash Tree Rats A School Story The Haunted Dolls' House The Diary of Mr Poynter More Ghost Stories 1984 There was a man dwelt by a Churchyard Lost Hearts Oh, Whistle, and I'll come to you, my lad The Mezzotint Casting the Runes A Warning to the Curious and other Ghost Stories 1985 Stories I have tried to write The Uncommon Prayer-book A Warning to the Curious A Neighbour's Landmark The Rose Garden Number 13 and other Ghost Stories 1988 Count Magnus Canon Alberics Scrap-book The Stalls of Barchester Number 13 All files are 128 kbps stereo except the third collection from 1985 which is 48 kbps mono. There's one exception in the 1985 set. That is for the story A Warning to the Curious itself which I ripped from the BFI DVD of the BBC TV version of the story from 1972 where it's included as an extra. It's in stereo at 128 kbps. Enjoy and Seed!!

Thank you. I have so many versions of these stories in print, audio and film that I may have these somewhere but I'll d/l them anyway. I agree with you that it's a pity there are so few.
