The Apple Tree by JOHN GALSWORTHY dramatised for radio by JANE BEESON with and ' To starve oneself emotionally is a mistake. If you speak of. emotion to the English they are shocked. They're afraid of passion, but not of lust -as long as they can keep it secret.'
Galsworthy's short story, written in 1916 when he was living on Dartmoor, is based on a local legend. A young undergraduate, on holiday in Devon, becomes fascinated by a simple country girl. He plans to take her back with him to London, but a chance meeting with friends of his own kind forces him to think more deeply about the implications of what he is doing.
