Nijinsky
The biography of the legendary dancer written by his widow ROMOLA NIJINSKY abridged by DEREK PARKER from Nijinsky and The Last Years of Nijinsky read by ANNA BURDEN 1: Imperial Russia
The story starts in the brilliant era of the Imperial School of Dancing and the Imperial Russian Ballet. It tells of the beginnings of the Diaghilev Ballet, Nijinsky's ten years of international fame, and his insanity in 1919. It tells of the long, unsuccessful search for a cure, and the adventures he and his wife met in the course of it. The story is as tragic and thrilling as any written by the great Russian novelists

The story of the Bevin Boys on their 25th anniversary.
On Christmas Eve 1943 a junior clerk at the Ministry of Labour drew the numbers out of a hat, and a few weeks later, early in 1944, the first batch of conscripts for the mines reported for duty 'would happily have swapped a twenty-mile march in the infantry to going down the pits'
'I'd go down again, like Prince Philip I'd go down, but not to work there any more' ' Mining brought me out completely. It knocked this superior white-collar attitude out of me for a start'
