Colette

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

I belong to a country that I have abandoned
A portrait based on her writings by DOROTHY BAKER with Mary Wimbush as Colette Colette was born in Burgundy in 1873 and died at the age of 81 in Paris.
Throughout her life she never stopped writing although she had many other activities to occupy her: three husbands, a daughter, innumerable animals, a beauty salon, and a music-hall career.
Much of Colette's fiction and non-fiction is rooted in autobiography, especially the two periods of her life to which she continually returned, her childhood and adolescence. Narrator GARY WATSON
Producer MAURICE LEITCH
