The Inexperienced Ghost (Audio Play)

First published as "The Story of the Inexperienced Ghost" in the March 1902 issue of The Strand Magazine, H.G. Wells' humorous ghostly tale of the folly of hubris has long been one of his most anthologised and well-known short stories.  

Relayed to his circle of friends by firelight following a day of golf, Clayton tells of his encounter with a ghost the previous night and of its piteous nature and plight.  

The version below was first broadcast on the BBC World Service in February 1982 and stars Donald Houston, Christopher Guard and Michael Cochrane,
