Quest for Dr James Barry

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Who was Dr James Barry ? What is the mystery that still shrouds the life of this eminent medical reformer?

June Rose. in attempting to pay tribute to a revolutionary and far-sighted doctor, has been trying to penetrate the several veils of rumour, myth and scandal covering the life and work of this tempestuous and original personality. Producer MADEAU STEWART
