A full unabridged audiobook of the classic short ghost story, "The Ostler", by Wilkie Collins - complete with sounds and visuals.
The second part of The Holly-Tree Inn sees our guest encountering a mysterious ostler asleep at midday in a barn. Upon enquiring of the landlord why the workman should be neglecting his duties at this hour, the man replies that the ostler has a mysterious and somewhat disturbing past. A past which prevents him from sleeping at night...
The The Holly-Tree Inn is a collection of short stories, published as the second volume of A Child's History of England and Miscellaneous Pieces. The Holly-Tree Inn was originally published in the Christmas 1855 edition of Household Words.
There is some evidence that Dickens only wrote three of the sections and the framing story; the other sections are purportedly attributed as follows: "The Ostler", Wilkie Collins; "The Landlord", William Howitt; "The Barmaid" Adelaide Anne Procter; "The Poor Pensioner", Holme Lee.
Dickens began a tradition of Christmas publications with "A Christmas Carol" in 1843 and his Christmas stories soon became a national institution.
