' It's going to take me the rest of my life.'
Richard Hughes knew that he was taking on a mammoth task when he started writing the trilogy which was to examine the events leading up to the Second World War and the War itself. In fact he only lived long enough to write two complete volumes-The Fox in the Attic and The Wooden Shepherdess, but there are 12 unpublished chapters of the third volume and the people who were close to him have some idea of the direction the book was taking.
Paul Scofield reads extracts from these 12 chapters and Michael Bake well examines the various clues as to what would have happened in the third, and possibly final, volume of The Human Predicament.
