a short story by Graham Sutton read by the author
Graham Sutton , who is to repeat his short story, ' The Man who Broke the Needle', is both author and reader of many North Country stories that have been heard on the air ; among them a sheep-farming story, ' Paying Guest'; a fell-walking story, ' A Hot Day on Bow-fell ' ; and a Solway story, ' Wanted for Murder ', which he broadcast last Christmas. He is a native of Cumberland, and fell-walking and rock-climbing are his favourite pursuits. His stories are drawn mainly from experience, ' Paying Guest', for instance, being suggested by an incident in his boyhood and by first-hand experience of sheep-dipping. He ' vetted ' the dialect and coached the cast of D'ye Ken John Peel , broadcast in October, 1936.
