  MATCHING'S EASY AT EASE: It was the sixth day of Mr. Direck's first visit to England, and he was at his acutest perception of differences. He found England in every way gratifying and satisfactory, and more of a contrast with things American than he had ever dared to hope.

  Are the ghosts real, or is the governess descending into madness? The terror lies in the uncertainty.
  
  Step into the chilling atmosphere of Bly, a secluded country estate where a young, earnest governess is charged with caring for two unnervingly beautiful, orphaned children. But their innocence is shadowed by the presence of two malevolent figures: the ghosts of a former valet and a deceased governess. Henry James masterfully crafts a ghost story that is also a profound work of psychological horror. Feel the mounting suspense and claustrophobia as the governess fights to protect her charges from the unseen evil, all while her own sanity hangs in the balance. This novella is the ultimate literary maze, famous for its ambiguity—a classic that has launched a thousand academic and critical debates.

  The Lost World

  So accustomed are we to numerous cinematic films depicting Dinosaurs (resurrected from their extinction through various dramatic devices) running amok amongst the human race, from King Kong to Jurassic Park, that we forget that it was the creator of Sherlock Holmes who was amongst the first to imagine such a scenario. 
   After so many years of the cerebral Holmes, Conan Doyle must have revelled in his colourful new character of Professor Challenger. He is a bear of a man with an appetite for self-advancement, adventure and controversy who leads an expedition into the forests of South America to vindicate his claim that a lost world lay hidden in that vast continent. 
  This is Conan Doyle away from the constraints of Baker Street and one gets the feeling that the author makes the most of the possibilities, pitting his heroes against dinosaurs, treacherous guides, inhospitable terrain and not least a race of vicious ape men. 
  Conan tells his rip-roaring adventure with all his usual descriptive skill and verve. 
  Head Stories presents Conan Doyle's "The Lost World" narrated by Simon Hester. With original music.
