M.R. James's The Lodestone (1989) by Sheila Hodgson

Sheila Hodgson wrote a series of radio plays based on the notes left by M.R. James for stories he had, as he put it, 'tried to write'. Never broadcast as a series per se they appeared occasionally over many years, finally culminating in The Boat Hook in the early 1990s, which I've already posted...

I’m so grateful to Sheila Hodgson for doing these MR James stories. Wonderful. This is the best channel on TH-cam. I am an avid listener to radio 4 and any old radio plays to be found. In 10 years I thought I’d heard them all in this genre! So wonderful xxxxx

Cambridge University did not award degrees to women until 1948, despite Girton College being established in 1869.
