Sheila Hodgson provides MR James with a ghostly encounter at Christmas.

Inspired by a fragment of his writing, Sheila Hodgson provides MR James with a ghostly encounter at Christmas. With David March.

One of MR James's few great passions in life was a fascination for our great English Abbeys. 

So when he received an invitation to spend Christmas at Medborough Abbey, he accepted without a second thought. 

But had he known of the strange, supernatural and eventually tragic series of events that were to take place, he might have thought again - or perhaps not...?

Inspired by a fragment of his writing, Sheila Hodgson provides MR James with a ghostly encounter at Christmas.
