Taken from the 1980 BBC1 Jackanory spinoff 'Spine Chillers' that featured abridged readings of classic spooky stories by the likes of Saki, M.R. James, John Wyndham and in this instance by Michael Joseph, read by John Woodvine.
Far more familiar to book lovers as the owner of the publishing house that bore his name, Michael Joseph was also the author of several collections of stories about cats. 'The Yellow Cat' first published in Hutchinson's Mystery Story Magazine in June 1924 is the story of a stray cat, a gambler and changing fortunes.
