Though best known for his classic novel of Edwardian childhood The Go-Between, L. P. Hartley was also a master of supernatural and macabre fiction, the best of which is collected in The Travelling Grave and Other Stories.

Originally published in 1948 and long out of print, this collection features 12 of Hartley's best tales.

This audiobook begins on this wise, “I have read your letters, dearly beloved brother Valentine”.
