"Mr. Huffam" by Hugh Walpole

EnCrypted: The Classic Horror Podcast

I hope you indulge me with this reading of a charming seasonal story by Hugh Walpole that is mysterious, maybe, but not in any way horrific... This heralds my upcoming season of Christmas ghost stories.

Faced with economic uncertainty and personal strife, Christmas seems a very gloomy prospect for everyone, including the wealthy Winsloes. But the arrival of a mysterious stranger, whose personality harks back to less cynical times, has a magical effect on the family and those around them.

This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. "Mr. Huffam" by Hugh Walpole (1933).
