Claw Marks on the Curtains: The Lumber-Room

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

1/5. Saki's fiction famously celebrates the triumph of the "human beast" over the strictures of society. Mischief, mayhem and the antic spirit of children are the stuff of his enduring tales of English life. When young Nicholas is punished by his aunt, he seeks refuge in the magical lumber-room; but when his aunt seeks him in the garden, he can exact retribution.
Dramatised by Roger Davenport.
(Repeated from 10.45am)
