BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

One of the series of stories of the supernatural and the uncanny by Algernon Blackwood adapted for radio by Sheila Hodgson.

"All forms of creative energy are one. And any desire that has grown too strong is dangerous. For the mind - failing to grasp the beloved object by normal means - may break free and attempt... something else!"
