Boris Karloff Reads Kipling

In a biography I’d been reading recently about the movie producer Val Lewton there’s a section about Boris Karloff who often worked with Lewton on his strangely artistic B-grade horror movies. He’s so famous for his monster roles such as Frankenstein and the Mummy that I was surprised to read how serious Boris Karloff was about good literature and drama. So when I saw that there was a new audio CD recording of Kipling’s Just So Stories by Boris Karloff I had to get it.

It’s an older recording and the sound quality is not great but it’s still worth getting the Karloff version for his unique interpretations of some great stories.
