Grim Tales by E. Nesbit invites listeners into a realm where the ordinary meets the extraordinary, and the supernatural lurks just beyond the veil of everyday life. This collection of stories weaves together elements of horror and the uncanny, exploring the delicate balance between fear and affection.
Set against the backdrop of late 19th-century England, these tales delve into the hidden corners of existence, where the boundaries between the living and the dead blur.

Peter Yeardsley (sp) is my favorite Librivox reader and he totally fits the horror genre with that balanced tone and his prosody is superb!
Well Written, Well Read
Very good reading of some pretty creepy stories.

Definitely one of the more memorable stories in the selection, largely due to Mr. Yearsley's well modulated voice. Perfect balancing down to the last eerie intonation. Brilliant reader.
Enjoyed it ... Recommended for fans of the genre

Although I shy away from most Librivox books, ( it seems most people with a burning desire to donate their narration skills have those very chipper voices that read everything as if they're doing kindergarten library hour), Peter Yearsley is a pleasure. He is also a very polite and kind gentleman, and actually took the time to answer the emails I sent complimenting him. The only drawback is that there are not more E. Nesbit stories narrated by him.
Entertaining but all sad endings

First of all 5 stars to the narrator Peter Yearsley. What a lovely voice. The stories are really all rather more sad than scary. They are ghost stories almost with a moral. I enjoyed the stories and they were short, made for nice light entertainment while driving.
