Jacob's Hands - Aldous Huxley - CBS Radio Workshop

"Jacob's Hands: A Fable" is a short story written by Aldous Huxley and Christopher Isherwood, originally written for the screen. The manuscript lay hidden in a trunk on the Huxley estate for fifty years before being discovered by actress Sharon Stone in 1997.

The story was produced for the CBS Radio series CBS Radio Workshop on April 13, 1956. Isherwood narrated and the performers included Herb Butterfield, Helen Kleeb, Vic Perrin, Lawrence Dobkin, and Janet Stewart

Jacob Ericson is a shy, enigmatic, and somewhat aloof ranch hand who works for crotchety Professor Carter and his crippled daughter Sharon, on a ranch in the California Mojave Desert in the 1920s. One day he learns that his hands possess the mysterious gift of healing, a gift he uses to cure animals, which he adores. Sharon, whom he also adores, then persuades him to heal her.
