Come on: you have M R James as the author and David Collings as the reader. This is the dream ticket, right here. This one is short, with a bit of humour thrown in, and like every one of these "Complete Ghost Story" slices, you can put it away and then take it out again later for another listen. Their appeal never fades. The plot of this particular story will be familiar to anyone who ever sat up in the dark as a child with friends and a torch, telling stories of things that go bump in the night. Now it's polished up and embellished by The Master. It's a real treat to hear it told again.

Short but none the worse for that
