The ghost of a murdered man haunts the courtroom at the trial of his killer. Read by Adrian Scarborough.
A series of five tales of the supernatural by Charles Dickens:
'Trial for Murder' (1865) and 'The Signal Man' (1866) were conceived as stand-alone short stories.
'A Madman's Manuscript' (the Old Clergyman's Tale) and 'The Queer Chair' (The Bagman's story) are extracted from the 'The Pickwick Papers', the first of Dickens major novels, written in 1836, when he was just 24.
'Chips' (the nurse's tale) is extracted from 'The Uncommercial Traveller', a collection of literary sketches and reminiscences, written between 1860 and 1869, which was first published as a complete set in 1875 posthumously.
