"The Childish Thing" by John Metcalfe
The death of the Hewson family's housemaid prompts eight-year-old Dulcie to explore the woodshed. The curious wax figurine she finds there, hidden amongst the rubbish, both fascinates and unsettles her. But could there be more to this childish thing than first meets the eye...?
This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror of the story "The Childish Thing” by John Metcalfe (1952).
