  • Oh, Whistle…

    Pickering Book Tree 43a Market Place, Pickering

    Join us for a dramatic reading with actor Robert Lloyd Parry who will be in character as M.R. James for this atmospheric evening of classic ghost stories.
    .
    With the electric lights off, Robert will tell two quietly terrifying tales: M.R. James’s ghostly masterpiece ‘Oh, Whistle, and I’ll Come to You, My Lad’ will be beautifully complemented by ‘The Ash Tree’, a story of witchcraft and generational vengeance.
    .
    On this long winter night, hear these two stories just as M.R. James’s friends did in his Cambridge study more than a hundred years ago.
