The Story So Far....

on BBC Two England

Robert Robinson introduces a further selection of highlights from past editions of The Book Programme.
This week, Jan Morris talks about her remarkable autobiography, Conundrum. Jan Morris was formerly JAMES MORRIS , the writer and journalist, who, at the age of 45, finally, achieved a purpose and ambition, felt since childhood, to become a woman. ' I think it's a magical thing that has happened to me - to have such a happiness and fulfilment given to one halfway through life.'
Also, the late Cyril Connolly on F. Scott Fitzgerald , Margaret Powell on Marcel Proust , and Nicol Williamson reads from Tolkien's The Hobbit.
