About this listen

 Delve into the mystery of the Peacock trees, feared by peasants as the source of a deadly fever. Squire Vane, a non-believer of this folklore, dares to challenge the superstition by spending a night amongst the trees. When dawn breaks, he is nowhere to be found. Has he fallen victim to the curse or is there a more sinister play at work? Could the poet, the lawyer, the woodsman or even the trees themselves be responsible for his disappearance? Join us as we unravel this enigma.
