A Play
' Safe in the Country', No. 1-Eggs
Children who have had to leave London and other cities for the country will particularly appreciate this new series of plays by one of the most popular radio playwrights who ever wrote for the Children's Hour. L. du Garde Peach's work is always first-rate and tremendously human.
The three principal characters are Vernon (aged twelve), Molly (aged nine), and Peter (aged six), who have all been evacuated from a big centre to a farm. Everything is strange to them-even the geese and the cows alarm them. In the first episode it will be shown how they settled down in their new surroundings.
