Episode 46 – The Five Jars, Part 2

from A Podcast to the Curious - The M.R. James Podcast

In this episode Mike and Will delve into the middle third of M.R. James’s ‘The Five Jars’ and encounter talking owls, two flavours of sinister old women, and all manner of supernatural trickery and tomfoolery! Readings this week are once again extracted from Peter Yearsley’s excellent Librevox recording of this story, with added help from Debbie Wedge. If you don’t have a copy of The Five Jars in your collection, you can read the whole thing online at Thin-Ghost.org. Also, Letters to a Child, extracts from M.R. James’s highly entertaining correspondence with the young Sybil Cropper can be read online at the Ghosts & Scholars website.
