This episode of The Classic Tales Podcast was originally released on June 22, 2007, along with The Cask of Amontillado, by Edgar Allan Poe, and The Speckled Band, by Arthur Conan Doyle.

I ran across this story in a collection of short stories called The Oxford Book of Gothic Tales, edited by Chris Baldick, which I\\u2019d highly recommend. Of course, you\\u2019ll run into most of the stories if you listen to the Vintage Episodes of the podcast.\\xa0

Barbara of the House of Grebe was originally published in the periodical The Graphic in 1890, and later collected with nine other stories in A Group of Noble Dames, and published in book form in 1891.\\xa0

It\\u2019s a pretty gothic story. You\\u2019ve got the dark atmosphere, romance, tragedy, and a dark villain. So buckle up. It\\u2019s about to get real.\\xa0

And now, Barbara of the House of Grebe, Part 1 of 2, by Thomas Hardy.\\xa0
