Read by Kenneth Williams
The book by Stella Gibbons, abridged in six parts and produced by Pamela Howe
Child, child, if you come to this doomed house, what is to save you?
In 1932 this book was acclaimed as a wickedly funny send-up of a certain kind of heavy-breathing novel about the doom-laden everyday life of country folk. Since then it has become a classic of comedy in its own right.
