"Hilarious! Absurd ghost stories and drunken interludes in between--or vice versa? Anyway, the best 30 minutes you can spend on Christmas Eve--before heating up that whisky punch, that is..."

Told after Supper Listener Reviews
-
" Short tongue-in-cheek ghost stories which purports that most ghosts are active on Christmas Eve. Not to be taken seriously. "

" Written well, but not scary. I would say the writing was easy but my expectations was much higher. I guess I was looking for a book that was more like "Scary Stories." "

About Jerome K. Jerome
Jerome K. Jerome (1859–1927), English humorist, novelist, and playwright, was born in Staffordshire and brought up in London. After a series of jobs including clerk, schoolmaster, actor, and journalist, he became joint editor of the Idler in 1892 and launched his own twopenny weekly, To-Day. His magnificently ridiculous Three Men in a Boat (1889) established itself as a humorous classic of the whimsical. His other books include Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow (1886); Three Men on the Bummel (1900); Paul Kelver (1902); the morality play The Passing of the Third Floor Back (1907); and his autobiography, My Life and Times (1926).
About Hubert Gregg
Hubert Gregg (1914-2004) was an English actor, director, lyric writer, author, playwright, and broadcaster. He became famous on the stage in the years just before World War I, and wrote the anthem of wartime London, “Maybe It’s Because I’m a Londoner.” However, Gregg is probably best remembered as a consummate broadcaster, particularly for his later radio programs with an emphasis on nostalgia such as I Call It Genius, Hubert Gregg Remembers, Now and Then, and others.
