Imaginary Biography ' The Children of Inchkeith ' DONALD CARSWELL

on National Programme Daventry

View in Radio Times

This is the imaginary biography of the two children who, as babies, were put by James IV of Scotland on the island of Inchkeith with a dumb nurse in order that they might teach themselves speech without being taught, and that he might discover the first language of the world. In due course they were taken off the island. Some say they spoke good Hebrew, but of that an old Scottish historian says, ' I can't say '. No one knows what happened to these children. This evening Donald Carswell, a well-known Scottish journalist is to give his conjecture.
