Classic Serial: The Cornish Trilogy

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Robertson Davies 's celebrated trilogy on the life and death of Francis Cornish , international art expert and mysterious millionaire philanthropist, is dramatised by Roger Danes.
2: The Knave of Coins. A tragic and long-lost brother, a liking for funeral parlours, a beautiful young artist's model, and a period of time spent hidden away in a pre-war German castle-the Rev Darcourt 's ferreting into Cornish's past begins to shine light into some very dark corners.
Music David Dorward. Director Patrick Rayner. Rptd Saturday 9pm
