BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

The first of five programmes Songs of the Cradle
A fundamental expression of the growing relationship between parent and child is the song designed to soothe babies to sleep - the lullaby. Kevin Crossley-Holland examines the way in which these ritualistic songs encompass a wide range of feelings, from tenderness to hostility, from frustration to joy, with examples from different countries.
