Afternoon Play: Moondial

on BBC Radio 4 FM

By Helen Cresswell , dramatised from her own children's novel. What happens to time when the moon shines on a sundial? When young Minty Cane goes to stay at her aunt's rural cottage she soon discovers the secret power of the moondial in the garden of the big house over the road. It is up to her to travel, to make two new friends across the centuries, and to free them from cruelty and evil.
Music Neil Brand Director David Hunter
