- Montague Rhodes James librivox was a medieval scholar; Provost of King’s College, Cambridge. He wrote many of his ghost stories to be read aloud in the long tradition of spooky Christmas Eve tales. His stories often use rural settings, with a quiet, scholarly protagonist getting caught up in the activities of supernatural forces. The details of horror are almost never explicit, the stories relying on a gentle, bucolic background to emphasise the awfulness of the otherworldly intrusions.
“Ghost Stories of an Antiquary” was written as two collections, presented here as two volumes in a single work. There is a short author’s preface before the first story in each volume. (Summary by Peter Yearsley)

A fine author, and a quality narrator who does justice to these works.
Recorded by Peter Yearsley; say no more. Thanks. 👍✌️
Wonderful Audiobook. Such a fantastic narrator he's outstanding. If anyone knows the narrator's name please post. Thank you for the upload of a wonderful book.
Peter Yearsley is the narrator. You'll see some comments in another youtube submission of this book.
... and thank you. Peter
I'm rather fussy about audio book
narration . There are some really
awful examples on RUclips which
it feels slightly churlish to criticise. Generally they employ a dreadful
droning monotone. Yours was a pleasant surprise . ! Only those who have tried narrating to a live
mic will appreciate your skill.
@@peterwhy8032 Wonderful narration!
Peter Yearsley, it says this if you look!
How can I find the start of each story?

The Image is a Zuzim (Zamzummim) from the Hebrew The Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament in English: With Introductions and Critical and Explanatory Notes to the Several Books; Volume 2
Book by Robert Charles 1900's Edition has the Same Story.
has the Same Story_____> "In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him came and attacked the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, the Zuzim in Ham, the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim, and the Horites in their mountain of Seir . . . . Then they turned back and came to En Mishpat (that is, Kadesh), and attacked all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites who dwelt in Hazezon Tamar" (Genesis 14:5-7, emphasis added).
Genesis 14 does not reveal that the Rephaim, Zuzim, Emim, or Amorites were giants, but this information can be found in other places.
Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha
Introduction Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha are terms used to label a large body of early Jewish and early Christian literature written between the 3rd century BCE and the first centuries of the common era. The Apocrypha, or Deuterocanonical Books (a term referring to the collection’s canonical status within certain Christian bodies), exists as a collection because of the reading practices of early Christians, who placed an especially high value on these texts and often included them in codices of their Scriptures (the Septuagint), and by ongoing canonical debates about the extent of the “Old Testament” within the Christian Church. Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches include these books as part of the Old Testament; Protestant Christians, following the Jewish canon of Scriptures, do not. The Pseudepigrapha is a much broader collection of extrabiblical literature. “Pseudepigrapha” refers technically to texts with a false attribution of authorship, though the collection has come to include several anonymous texts as well. The scope of texts included in the collection varies from edition to edition. Generally, the collection contains at a minimum pseudonymous Jewish extrabiblical writings from about 200 BCE to 200 CE. The Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha are of immense value as windows into the development of biblical interpretation, theology, ethics, and liturgy in Early Judaism and Christianity, as well as into the sociocultural and historical contexts within which these developments occurred.
General Overviews
Brief introductions to the content and context of each book included in the Apocrypha or Pseudepigrapha can be found in Evans 2005 and the individual entries in Evans and Porter 2000, Nickelsburg 2005, and Stone 1984. Collins 2000, Delcor 1989, and Helyer 2002 provide more substantial introductions to a less comprehensive range of texts. Kugel 1998 is distinctive in its arrangement of excerpts from these and other texts grouped around particular biblical figures or episodes.
I can't help but wonder how
Jonathan Cecil would've told
these stories. He at least did
different voices for the different characters of P. G. Wodehouse.
This is good (the narration) but
not great. 😕
