Oh Whistle and I'll Come to You My Lad
Dublin Core
Title
Oh Whistle and I'll Come to You My Lad
Description
Oh, Whistle, and I’ll Come to You, My Lad is considered by many to be M R James’s finest ghost story. Probably first read to the author’s friends in Cambridge at Christmas 1903, it has now been brought back to thrilling life in this new collaboration between Nunkie and ThomThom Productions. Filmed in one take, by the light of a single candle, at Hemingford Grey Manor, this is supernatural storytelling at its most stark and effective.
It is accompanied here by a new documentary, “Wits in Felixstowe,” which looks at some of the people and locations that might have inspired the tale. This was made possible with the generous support of many patrons.
Bonus Features:
“Wits in Felixstowe.” A 40 minute documentary.
A rehearsed reading of M R James’s short story ‘Rats.’
Patricia Hammond performing Robert Burns’s “Whistle an’ I’ll Come to Ye, Me Lad.”
