The Signalman/Oh, Whistle, And I'll Come to You, My Lad - T301653862The Signalman - Set in 1880, this is Dickens' exquisitely unnerving tale of a tormented signalman who is haunted by visions of impending disaster on his isolated stretch of line. Can a well-meaning traveller, who chances upon the lonely signal box while out walking, calm the man's fears before he spirals into self-destruction? Oh, Whistle, And I'll Come to You, My Lad - M.R. James was a master teller of the creepy ghost story. This is the story of Professor Parkins, a Cambridge academic on an out-of-season holiday at a bleak English east coast hotel in 1907. At an old graveyard near a deserted beach he finds an old bone whistle. Blowing the whistle he awakens a disturbing supernatural force...Author Charles Dickens (The Signalman). Adapted by Francis Evelyn (The Signalman). Author M.R. James (Oh Whistle and I'll Come to You My Lad). Adapted by Margaret May Hobbs (Oh Whistle and I'll Come to You My Lad). | |
