The Music on the Hill

Wyrd Britain presents 'The Music on the Hill' by Saki from Jackanory Spine Chillers.

Taken from the 1980 BBC1 Jackanory spinoff 'Spine Chillers' that featured abridged readings of classic spooky stories by the likes of H.G. Wells, M.R. JamesJohn Wyndham and in this instance Saki, read by Jonathan Pryce.

First published in 1911 in 'The Chronicles of Clovis', 'The Music on the Hill' tells the story of Sylvia who, having finally coaxed her new husband Mortimer away from town to his country home, falls foul of the God Pan after she spurns his existence and interferes with his shrines.
