An occasional series of readings of ghost stories by a writer now better known for his social satire.
The Chronicles of Clovis

Reginald
'Scandal is merely the compassionate allowance which the gay make to the humdrum.' A series of professionally produced readings of the Reginald stories by Saki (H H Munro). View the world of Edwardian society through the sartorially adapted eye of Saki's solipsistic anti-hero.
The Toys of Peace
'We are merely trammelled by the ordinary decent conventions of civilised society.' A series of professionally produced readings of the final collection of satirical short stories by Saki (H H Munro).
