Tales of cats and dogs in verse by T. S. Eliot , read by Geoffrey Tandy
Before Christmas Day, 1937, when the first selection was broadcast, nobody would have associated a set of cheery, yet at the same time profound, verses on the subjects of dogs and cats with the name of T. S. Eliot. Nevertheless the author of ' The Waste Land' has written such verses, originally for the amusement of his friends' children. The great war between the Pollicle Dogs and the Jellicle Cats is a hilarious epic, and makes ideal broadcasting from the lips of Geoffrey Tandy , whom T. S. Eliot selected to read these poems in the past.
