Brilliant, absolutely brilliant

I’ve been an M R James fan for 40+ years. My favourite narrator of M R James stories was Michael Horden- then I discovered Librivox and Peter Yearsley! Peter Yearsley is the perfect narrator, second to none. So when I found these Sheila Hodgson tales based round M R James, I thought, given it a go. Well glad I did, they are excellent in story, voice actors and production. Librivox just spoils me for all other internet audio apps. AND it’s FREE.
