Tonight, we'll read from Cat's Tales by Edith Nesbit, a collection of stories centered on the lives and antics of cats. If you enjoy this episode, be sure to check out the other “Cat Tales” episode that aired in September 2021, and also the fairy tale “The White Cat” that aired in July of 2020. Known for her sharp observations and straightforward storytelling, Nesbit presents these tales with a mix of realism and subtle irony, capturing the independence and inscrutability of her feline subjects. The stories reflect her ability to balance light fantasy with practical detail, a hallmark of her work. Edith Nesbit, born 1858, was a British writer and poet best known for her children's fiction, including The Railway Children and Five Children and It. A co-founder of the Fabian Society, she was politically engaged and influenced later fantasy writers with her blend of everyday settings and magical elements. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

«Dijo que no podría deshacerme del cuerpo. Y no puedo. No puedo.» En la oscuridad (In the Dark) es un relato de terror de la escritora inglesa Edith Nesbit (1858-1924), publicado originalmente en la antología de 1910: Miedo (Fear). Más adelante reaparecería en El libro de Oxford de cuentos góticos (The Oxford Book of Gothic Tales). En la oscuridad, uno de los cuentos de Edith Nesbit menos conocidos, relata la historia de dos viejos amigos [Haldane y Winston] que se reencuentran y conversan sobre un tercer camarada, llamado Visger, un sujeto que posee la inusual habilidad de saberlo todo. SPOILERS «Cuando estudiábamos en la escuela con mi amigo había un chico. Era un tramposo. Siempre les decía a los profesores cosas malas que hacían otros niños. Pero no veía estas malas acciones con sus propios ojos. Simplemente lo sabía todo y los profesores le creían. No sé qué era. ¿Un tercer ojo o un sexto sentido?» Es casi sobrenatural cómo Visiger conoce los secretos más oscuros de cada persona. Esta capacidad de anticipación lo hace notablemente difícil de asesinar. Sin embargo, Haldane estrangula a Visger luego de que este «mojigato» insufrible le costó la relación con su prometida. La última burla de Visger es una predicción justo antes de morir: Haldane nunca podrá deshacerse de su cuerpo, y así se demuestra en el curso de la historia. «Siempre supo cosas que no podía saber», lamenta el asesino. Desde entonces, Haldane es atormentado por extrañas presencias durante la noche, a tal punto que ha decidido terminar con su vida antes de morir de puro terror en la oscuridad. En la oscuridad cuenta con un reducido elenco de personajes, y en el poco tiempo que pasamos con ellos adquieren agencia propia. Por un lado está Haldane, un hombre al borde del colapso nervioso después de haber sucumbido a la ira y el rencor, y haber asesinado a un tipo desagradable. Por el otro tenemos a Winston [el narrador], un sujeto de buen corazón que hace todo lo que está a su alcance para que su amigo logre recuperar la cordura. Y después está Visger. No pasamos tiempo con él, pero aun así entendemos a la perfección la clase de idiota que era: «Visger creció siendo un mojigato. Era vegetariano y abstemio, un fanático de la ciencia cristiana y todas esas cosas.» En este contexto, Winston convence a Haldane de realizar un viaje juntos. Durante un tiempo, las cosas marchan bastante bien. Las visiones dejan de atormentar a Haldane, sin embargo, este todavía conserva un comportamiento infantiloide cuando se encuentra en un sitio oscuro. A pesar de los mejores esfuerzos del narrador por liberar a su amigo de la desesperación, el ciclo que pronosticó Visiger se completa, aunque no de manera sobrenatural. Pensándolo bien, el final que plantea Edith Nesbit es tan absurdo, tan inverosímil, que el elemento sobrenatural bien podría estar presente de forma subrepticia. Como mínimo, estamos ante un hombre [Haldane] que es una especie de imán para cadáveres.

Clare hikes along a section of the GM Ringway, Greater Manchester's new walking trail. It's a 200 mile route split into 20 stages, starting and ending in Manchester city centre. It goes around the edge of the county through all 10 boroughs of the region, and it's linked with public transport so people can easily access the linear stages. Joining Clare as she walks part of Stage 6, which is Strines to Marple, is Andrew Read whose brilliant idea this was. He was awarded £250k of funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund to make it happen. The project also depends upon a legion of keen volunteers, several of whom join Clare for today's walk. One of these is ‘Stage Guardian' Roz Hughes who explains how important volunteer involvement is to keep the walk maintained in the long term. The starting point of the walk, Strines Station, was described in The Railway Children. Craig Wright joined the group to share his enthusiasm for this classic children's book, and - while reading a short section - points out aspects of a view that can be recognised from Edith Nesbit's descriptions.

This week we have something really special for you - a recording of our recent Three Ravens Live Show at Battle Folk & Fable Festival!Focused on the town of Battle on the Kent-Sussex border, and the lore and history of the area, we're talking ghosts, giants, faeries, demon dogs and witches, and Martin is telling his rather silly take on the life of William the Conqueror.With legends including those of Gill The Giant, the Pevensey Werewolves, 'Funny Face' the ghost, discussions of local writers like Rudyard Kipling, Charlotte Smith and Edith Nesbit, and a tonne of fascinating historical tidbits, as if that wasn't enough, we also performed two songs - folk classic The Tree Song and our new creation, The Ballad of Billy The Conks!We really hope you enjoy the episode, thank you so much to everyone who came along, and we will be back next week with the launch of Series 5, including Eleanor's exploration of Cumberland, a new Magic and Medicines episode about Tarot, and a brand new Local Legends interview with Stephen Rae, The Bard of Cumberland!

Bestselling children's author Katherine Rundell discusses the extraordinary life of E Nesbit who wrote The Railway Children and Five Children And It.Katherine praises her “bold unwillingness to speak down to children” and reflects that “she never seemed to forget what it was like to be a child”. E, or Edith, Nesbit's conjuring of mythical beasts like the Phoenix and the sand fairy the Psammead was a particular inspiration to Katherine Rundell who says "you can really believe they are flesh and blood”. Edith Nesbit has also influenced the work of Jacqueline Wilson and JK Rowling who have both praised this trailblazing writer.She had a particularly colourful private life and a very open marriage. She flouted the social conventions of the time. She was married when seven months pregnant. Her husband had children outside of their relationship and Edith then raised them as her own. She was a feminist but didn't believe in Votes for Women. She co-founded the Fabian Society and kept company with the likes of George Bernard Shaw and Noel Coward. Katherine Rundell is joined by Elisabeth Galvin who has written a biography of E Nesbit. The programme features an excerpt from The Phoenix And The Carpet by E Nesbit as well as clips from the 1970 film of The Railway Children distributed by EMI films and the 1991 BBC television adaptation of Five Children And It.Presenter: Matthew Parris Producer: Robin Markwell

On The Literary Life podcast today, our hosts continue their discussion of C. S. Lewis' science fiction novel Out of the Silent Planet, covering chapters 6-15. Angelina Stanford, Cindy Rollins, and Thomas Banks begin by sharing their commonplace quotes, including some heated debate about sausages, then dive in to this section. They start by looking at Ransom's need to let go of some of his own modern preconceptions and categories, in spite of being steeped in the classics. Angelina, Thomas, and Cindy also discuss a variety of other themes, including: the contrasts between Lewis and Tolkien in world-building, Lewis' crafting a medieval tale in the genre of modern science fiction, and the problems with Ransom's anthro-centric perspective.

Commonplace Quotes: It is to me inconceivable that Nature as we see it is either what God intended or merely evil; it looks like a good thing spoiled. C. S. Lewis, from Letters of C. S. Lewis What do you usually do when you are shut up in a secret room, with no chance of getting out for hours? As for me, I always say poetry to myself. It is one of the uses of poetry–one says it to oneself in distressing circumstances of that kind, or when one has to wait at railway stations, or when one cannot get to sleep at night. You will find poetry most useful for this purpose. So learn plenty of it, and be sure it is the best kind, because this is most useful as well as most agreeable. Edith Nesbit, from The House of Arden Lewis began the trilogy as a conscious critique of what he called “Wellsianity,” a philosophy that applies Darwinism to the metaphysical sphere, believing that humans may evolve into a new species of gods, spreading from world to world and galaxy to galaxy. Though one finds this quasi-religious belief sometimes called “Evolutionism” in Olaf Stapledon, G. B. Shaw, and C. H. Waddington, Lewis found it most fully embodied in Wells' novels, and he set out to produce a Wellsian fantasy with an anti-Welsian theme. Lewis' Ransom books contrast so sharply from other stories of space voyages that Robert Scholes and Eric S. Rabkin credit him with inventing a new genre: “anti-science fiction.” from Reading the Classics with C. S. Lewis, edited by Thomas L. Martin A Selection from “I Saw Eternity the Other Night” by Henry Vaughn I saw Eternity the other night, Like a great ring of pure and endless light, All calm, as it was bright; And round beneath it, Time in hours, days, years, Driv'n by the spheres Like a vast shadow mov'd; in which the world And all her train were hurl'd.
