Green on Locke

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

W. J. Locke was the highest-paid British author of the 20s, a status he achieved by writing vastly entertaining novels such as The Beloved
Vagabond and The Joyous Adventures of Aristide Pujol. He spent his considerable wealth on projects like the conversion of his country house into a wartime military hospital.
With the help of Leslie Mitchell , who knew Locke well. Benny Green looks at the life and literature of this now neglected writer.
Producer JEREMV BIRCHALL (The Beloved Vagabond will be read in Story Time from next Thursday)
