Tales from the White Hart
Last updated October 31, 2026
In a London pub called the White Hart, scientists, writers and editors gather each week to talk. The star of the evening is Harry Purvis, who always has a story ready. His tall tales describe inventions and experiments that go spectacularly wrong, from a machine that cancels sound to a melody too perfect to forget. Arthur C. Clarke's comic stories are modeled on the tradition of the pub yarn and play scientific ideas for laughs.
