A Paraphrase by E. J. King Bull
Being a dramatic sequence for broadcasting founded, with the author's consent, upon ' The Story of This Book ', by Walter de la Mare , from his anthology ' Come Hither '
' The which things ben said by allegory or ghostly understanding'
(Wyclif)
Cast
The incidental music by Victor Hely -Hutchinson directed by Jean Pougnet and played by the Leslie Bridgewater
Quintet
Production by Barbara Burnham
Few programmes can have had a busier career than ' Yes and Back Again', ', E. J. King Bull's allegorical fantasy founded on Walter de la Mare's ' The Story of this Book'.
It was first broadcast in September, 1930, with Howard Rose as producer, and made a great impression by its other-worldly atmosphere and its air of meaning just a little more than one could understand. It was revived in April, 1931, and in December the same year, and was broadcast from Belfast in November, 1934. Once more it is ' back again ', and listeners are to have this opportunity of yet another peep into the mysterious House of Thrae.
