Kaleidoscope Feature: A Little Gothic Castle

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

On his death 200 years ago, Horace Walpole left a legacy of two castles: a mansion at Strawberry Hill by the Thames, and The Castle of Otranto, a supernatural tale that made his friends "afraid to go to bed o'nights". Peggy Reynolds treads warily into the strange world of the first-ever Gothic novel.
Producer Matthew Dodd Repeated Friday 9.30pm
