BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

I have found in my own novel writing ... that what really I am trying to do is to convey, translate some of the reality that I feel to you - Hugh Wal pole, one of the best-selling novelists of his generation; yet. though he died only 30 years ago. he seems to have become neglected. Unjustly perhaps? ...
The Herries Chronicle novels have just been reissued in paperback and a Radio 4 serial based on them starts next Sunday.
WILLIAM PLOMER and others who knew Walpole or admire his writing discuss the man and- his work with DEREK PARKER.
Producers MIRIAM RAPP and ALAN HAYDOCK
