A Book at Bedtime: Tolstoy Remembered: 1

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

by Tatyana Tolstoy, translated and abridged for radio in ten parts by Derek Coltman

To his daughter, the great novelist was 'The merriest man I have ever known'. Her memories of her childhood in 19th-century Russia are of games played with her father, and of a house peopled with eccentrics.
