Peter Fleming
Extracts from his writings read by Eric Gillett
This is the first of a new series of readings by Eric Gillett from the works of modem British, travellers. Some of the many travel books published in the last few years are among the most interesting literature of our time. This afternoon Eric Gillett will read from books in which Peter Fleming describes his adventures in two continents: ' News from Tartary ' ' Brazilian Adventure ', and 1 One's Company '. In later talks, which will be given weekly, he hopes to draw upon the work of Somerset Maugham, E. M. Delafield , Evelyn Waugh , H. M. Tomlinson , and others.
