Mini Stranger #16 - Mary Chegriff, Witch's Daughter

This episode introduces us to mysterious Victorian writer M.H. James, author of Bogie Tales of East Anglia. A bit of background about this early tome of folklore is followed by one of it’s most unusual stories - that of Mary Chegriff, witch’s daughter. It features charms and potions, imps and mischief, and a rogueish fiddler called Lucky Chance. Plus, more unpleasantly, Mick Hucknall’s Pink Pancakes (with thanks to Charlie Brooker).
