A serial radio version of Crosbie Garstin 's trilogy ' The Penhales read by Geoffrey Tandy
This serial, of which you will hear the first instalment today, is made up from three books, The Owls' House ', ' High Noon '. and ' The West Wind ', which together follow the life of a Cornishnian, Ortho Penhale, in the second half of the eighteenth century.
The author, himself a Cornishman, and also a much-travelled man, leads his hero to almost every part of the world, and the result is a serial full of-action and with an ever-changing background.
