So, thanks to Andrew F. for the link to this radio drama based on young Ronald Tolkien's courtship of Edith Bratt. Have to confess I haven't made it all the way through it myself; it's well-done but for some reason off-putting.
Here's the link:

Apparently it'll still be available on the radio BBC's site to listen to for about another week.

current reading: "The Highwayman" (1908) and THE CASTLE OF CROSSED DESTINIES by Italo Calvino (1969+197; tr 1976-77)
It felt too constructed for my likes. Well made but maybe a little too over produced and overly written. I could not finish, you are not alone.
ReplyDeleteIs there a way to download it as an MP3? :(
ReplyDeleteHi On. Good to know.
ReplyDeleteHi Paul. Not that I know of. Wish I cd make a copy; it might improve if read at a different time.
