This live-recording of the critically acclaimed show presents adaptations of several short stories and memories originally written by Edith Nesbit.

"This is not your traditional ghost story and there seems to be no reason why any of it should have happened. But that is no reason why it should not be told..." Edith Nesbit, creator of "The Railway Children" and "Five Children and It", invites you into her parlour, as she recounts some of her unsettling horror stories which have long been overlooked in favour of her male contemporaries. Featuring an all female cast, magic lanterns and eerie soundscapes, this live-recording of the critically acclaimed anthology show presents an adaptation of "The Shadow", a ghost story of lost love and longing, and "In the Dark", a terrifying paranoid confession of a (accidental?) murderer, along with real-life terrors from Nesbit's life.
