by John Braine
Abridged in 15 parts by Neville Teller
Read by James Bolam
"I came to Warley on a wet September morning in the late 1940s. My clothes were my Sunday best, the shoes the most expensive I'd ever possessed, though my trench-coat and hat weren't up to the same standard. The hat was faintly discoloured with hair-oil and pinched to a sharp point in the front."
