A Benson ghost story I'd not read before - what a treat. He had a wondrous range of style and subject, didn't he? The same mind that created Mapp and Lucia, and countless silver-fork romances set in suburban villas, could make shuddersome tales that still stand up to our modern scrutiny.
You and Simon Stanhope are the best currant readers that I have found on youtube , but I wonder if you would agree that the best ever were Sir Michael Horden and the sainted Prunella Scales ?
Just discovered your channel, subscribed immediately. I like all of the stories you've chosen so far, and you're a great reader. I suggest you lose the music bits.

I appreciate your readings of E.F. Benson stories as I have been on a Benson binge lately, and I am loathe for it to end.

Many thanks Sir
Ty this was great 👍
Brilliant suspense
Very well done! Although I'm familiar with this story and E.F. Benson in general, your narration made it new and exciting. 👹
@@MND139 👍👍
@@MND139 yes
Absolutely terrifying...the evil that must be present in every normal, mundane thing.
I don't understand how the flint knife got there at the end. Do you?

Thank you! I certainly can’t argue with your taste, and am delighted to be even vaguely in the company of such royalty.
@@MND139 Thank you! 11 more since The Flint Knife, and still more to come!

About as scary as a repeat episode of Gardeners Question Time . ( ie. typical Benson drivel . )
Why did you listen if you dislike E F Benson?
Very good narrator; disappointing story.
