Fifty years ago, a half-breed
North American Indian called Grey Owl was preaching the gospel of conservation. His particular love was for the beaver, which he had once hunted as a fur-trapper in the north of Canada. Twice he came to Britain on lecture tours, drawing tens of thousands who came to hear his message and to see this colourful and charismatic figure, all moccasins, feathers and buckskins. But Grey Owl was not what he said he was, and his real identity was revealed only after his death, in 1938. Margaret Horsfield tells his story.

THOMASON J. B. Priestley , novelist, playwright, essayist and broadcaster, died last month. He would have been 90 on 13 September. He was curiously ignored by the literary establishment, yet his enormous output and his vast creative energy have given pleasure to millions of readers all over the world. In this programme Paul Copley reads from Priestley's own account of his early life up to 1929 - when The Good Companions was an instant bestseller.
He wasn't a saint but he had this very simple ideal that he should leave the world a bit better than he found it - he's a better writer than most of us and will endure
