Classic Serial: The Dutch Mariner

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

A retelling of the myth by Judith French.
A mysterious Dutchman is condemned to sail the seas for eternity, unless he can find a woman who loves him enough to die for him. But how do you prove that a lover would give their soul to save yours? In the short, dark days of a Norwegian winter, this timeless tale explores the danger of getting what you wish for, the power of love and the strength of evil.
