Smith's Gazelle by LIONEL DAVIDSON : abridged in five parts by RON BARON
Read by Andrew Sachs (1)
The species of gazelle known as Gazella Smithii is thought to be extinct. But a one-eyed Arab shepherd, a murderer, hiding in a ravine near the border of Israel, discovers a pregnant female of the species and believes God has given him the task of raising a herd. His belief is encouraged by two boys, one a Bedouin, the other from an Israeli Kibbutz. Producer DAVID SPENSER
