The Heaven Tree by EDITH PARGETER
A tale of love and violence set in the Welsh Marches during the reign of King John.
' Harry, for God's sake, bend that neck of yours before life bend it for you or tear your head from your shoulders. It is not possible to live as you want to live; every man must give way sooner or later. Kings, popes, all who live yield some step backwards on occasion to remain upright and draw breath.'
The novel adapted for radio by WILLIAM INGRAM with Meg Wynn Owen as Madonna Benedetta and William Squire as Ralf Isambard Producer
LORRAINE DAVIES
(Repeated: Monday 3.5 pm)
