Summary

Another wonderful Dickens short story combining spectral images with Christmas. Wonderful turns of phrase and digressions throughout. To name but one, “faithful obstructions”, for servants - in other words, easier to do it yourself if not for pride of position. Playful, fun, and illuminating. One of his less listened-to stories; well worth it for anyone, but especially for fans.

BAD, BAD, BAD

Would you try another book written by Charles Dickens or narrated by Deaver Brown?

I am a great fan of Dickens

What will your next listen be?

What didn’t you like about Deaver Brown’s performance?

He seemed unable to cope with some of the names. his speech was indistinct.

What character would you cut from The Haunted House?

I don't know I could not finish the book. shall read it to see if it is as bad as it sounded.
