Boris Karloff Reads....Poetry?


This is another post to file under "This Is Not Here." 
Since this isn't here, instead, let's talk about voles.  Wikipedia says:
"A vole is a small rodent resembling a mouse but with a stouter body, a shorter, hairy tail, a slightly rounder head, smaller ears and eyes, and differently formed molars (high-crowned and with angular cusps instead of low-crowned and with rounded cusps). There are approximately 155 species of voles. They are sometimes known as meadow mice or field mice in North America. Vole species form the subfamily Arvicolinae with the lemmings and the muskrats."

  1. Reminded Boris Karloff got to narrate a cartoon produced in the late 50's based on a story by R. O. Blechman called "The Juggler of Our Lady", worth seeing at least...

  2. Speaking of Karloff doing poetry, he once narrated a cartoon in the 50's that's so forgotten today.

  3. I thought I remembered him reading, "The Raven." Am I wrong?

  4. Not that I know of (Basil Rathbone did!), but of course he made two films with that title!
