.. is Afternoon Reading program which has a reading of The Duke of Wellington Misplaces His Horse, one of the stories from the forthcoming The Ladies of Grace Adieu & Other Stories, a collection of short stories by Susanna Clarke.
Update: You should now be able to listen to the story with this link (RealPlayer reqiuired) for the next seven days only, after which it'll be replaced with a new episode.
Barbara Flynn's reading is excellent and having avoided reading The Duke of Wellington.. on the JonathanStrange.com
web site (mainly because I like reading stories in printed form rather
than on a computer screen; plus I had hoped for a short story
collection such as The Ladies of Grace Adieu to be published at some
point), I had no idea that this was set in the same universe
as Stardust, albeit a little earlier than Tristan Thorn's time (1819
versus the late 1840's?).
