There are two dramatisations of this novel on the channel already - a good one from 2002, and a really terrific one from 2016 (which I highly recommend).

An old favorite of mine read very well.
What a hidden gem of a channel!
Very kind. I've got another for spooky/dark stories called Mysterious Magpie, too.
Delightful
I've also got a couple of radio dramatisations of the story on the channel - the 2016 version is very good in a lot of ways.
