THIS MOVINQ PLAY, which is being relayed from Scottish Regional, is a first play by Mortimer Batten , whose popular animal stories have been read for years by ' Mac ' in the National Children's Hour.
The play is set in Scotland, and the weather is so threatening at the close of school hours that the mistress is anxious about two of the children who have a long walk home across the moor.
She expresses a hope that their father will meet them with a lantern, and they set out.
But the weather gets worse. They are caught in a blinding snowstorm, and seem likely to be lost. Meanwhile their father has sent his dog to find them. But. will the dog ever succeed ? You will be moved to pity and your heart will beat with excitement in this clever little play.
