Between 1976 and 1992, Sheila Hodgson authored and produced for BBC Radio 4 a series of plays which portrayed M. R. James as the diarist of a series of fictional ghost stories, mainly inspired by fragments referred to in his essay "Stories I Have Tried to Write".
The fantasy writer M. R. James is the narrator and main character in this story. The illustrations for his (non-fiction) book are unacceptable because a large tombstone keeps appearing in them. James follows his illustrator, Francis Lippiat, through parts of England in search of this tombstone. When they finally locate it, it becomes apparent that Lippiat may be under some sort of curse dating from his ancestor's death as a 17th-century witch. This is based upon a plot in James's essay "Stories I Have Tried To Write." Also inspired by M.R. James' Abbeys.

Just such lovely and wonderful well crafted ghostly stories to listen to! Also the actors reading these radio dramas are just the very BEST.

I agree with @ clayvegas (below), the m.r.james radio drama's made by the BBC are top rate. up there with the Beeb's Christie/ Doyle drama's.

Thanks again for uploading these. This one is perhaps her best 'realization', tho' I have enjoyed all of them. Though James, as a Victorian man, may have had some objections to women at Cambridge in early days, there is no evidence he had any misogynistic tendencies. Interestingly, his first artist (Ghost Stories of an Antiquary) James McBride, was a particular young friend of his, who he even took one of his bicycle tours with. So this show utilizes this for its main character. McBride died suddenly and young, and from that point on M.R. took on the role of advisor, protector, and Godfather to McBride's young wife and daughter till the end of his life. In fact, it was for this daughter, James wrote his little known and marvelous children's fantasy, The Five Jars. While not strictly a 'ghost' story, it has suspenseful elements and impish humor, well worth any adult's time to read!

Something about these Sheila Hodgson radio dramas that makes me want to listen to them over and over again. It's weird.

Especially the one about the abbey. I have listened to that probably 10 times! Honestly, there is so much packed into that one story...the exploitation of M.R. James, trying to use him as an expert character witness, the cruel wife, the ghosts, the carolers, the fire, the arson..It should have been made into a TV movie like the Ash Tree, and all of the others.
