1: P's and Q
Pasties, piskies, pilchards and piracy ...
In the first of a new series of eight programmes. Tom Vernon visits Fowey in South Cornwall to find out who has been moved to write about this medieval fishing port and discovers some surprising literary connections: not merely the great ' Q ' - Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch , but also such diverse writers as Kenneth Grahame , John Betjeman , Leo Walmsley , the du Mauriers and A. L. Rowse.
