Just a quick post to draw your attention to two new titles added to the Book Collection section: Thirteen-Hundredth Anniversary of the Diocese of East Anglia: Official Handbook, to which M. R. James contributed a section on carved bosses in the roof of Norwich Cathedral; and Haunted Churches of England: Ghosts Ancient and Modern by Graham J. McEwan, which while not explicitly James-related is certainly appropriately Jamesian in subject to be included here.
Also a short note to say that Christopher Thom and Robert Lloyd Parry’s fantastic documentary Wits in Felixstowe is now available to watch on Amazon Prime here.
This 40-minute film is a wonderful examination of the story behind perhaps M. R. James’ most famous ghost story (and my personal favourite), “Oh, Whistle, and I’ll Come to You, My Lad”, and provides a fascinating insight into both the story and James’ life, as well as some great location filming around Cambridge and the Suffolk coast.
