MON MON 11:00 Afternoon Reading b00pqj9d (Listen) MON The Curiosities of the Egyptian Hall, Between Isis and MON Osiris MON Introduced by Tony Lidington as Alfred, Custodian of the MON Hall. MON A series of three specially commissioned stories inspired by MON London's Egyptian Hall - 'England's Home of Mystery & Many MON Illusions', which stood in Piccadilly for most of the 19th MON Century. The recordings were made in front of an invited MON audience at the Concert Artistes' Association in Covent MON Garden. The first tale is read by award-winning radio actor, MON Miriam Margolyes. MON London's Egyptian Hall was originally built in 1812 to house MON collections of curiosities brought back from the most remote MON and mysterious parts of the globe - from the South Seas, MON North & South America and Africa. But it soon became the MON venue for extraordinary spectaculars, panoramas and pseudo MON scientific demonstrations - such as Britain's first ever MON films, illusions, magic and freak shows. By the end of the MON 19th Century, it had become known as 'England's Home of MON Mystery and Many Illusions', under the management of the MON renowned magician, Maskelyne. It became the centre of magic MON and spiritualism where new acts were demonstrated and MON charlatans exposed. MON It is this rich legacy that has inspired these three stories MON - which are as quirky, mysterious and surprising as the MON curiosities themselves! MON Each tale is introduced by Alfred - the custodian of the MON Hall (played by Tony Lidington) - who tells us a little of MON the Hall's history, before each story. MON Miriam Margolyes tells the tale of artist Benjamin Robert MON Haydon, whose exhibition at the Egyptian Hall was eclipsed MON by the hugely popular American midget, General Tom Thumb.

By the end of the TUE 19th Century, it had become known as 'England's Home of TUE Mystery and Many Illusions', under the management of the TUE renowned magician, Maskelyne. It became the centre of magic TUE and spiritualism where new acts were demonstrated and TUE charlatans exposed.
