Commander A. B. Campbell
Commander A. B. Campbell is one of the most remarkable raconteurs the BBC has introduced to the public. He made his name as a broadcaster with his very first talk and he has added to his reputation with each succeeding one. Commander Campbell disdains the use of a script and talks into the microphone just as he talks to friends at his club. The result is delightful. He is a man with a distinguished war career on the sea, and altogether-he is now a publisher-his life has been an ideal one for a born talker such as he is. He has been in every part of the world, including the Arctic and Antarctic Circles, and has a happy knack of describing vividly the strange personalities and places he has seen.
