THE SLEEPING WOOD

BBC Home Service
on BBC Home Service Basic

Naomi Lewis 's observaUons on an old tale

It is a potent myth: has not every human, the speaker asks, somewhere in the mind such a dense wood where absent lovers, distant battles, unwelcome news and views are conveniently left to sleep?
