Where the Golden Apples Grow We are in anchorage off the island of Nukahiva. The voyage has been most comfortable and pleasant, yet I cannot tell you how thrilling it was to hear Louis's call of 'Land!' at five o 'clock this morning.
In June 1888,
Margaret Stevenson set sail from San Francisco with her son, the author Robert Louis Stevenson , and his wife, bound for the South Seas on a voyage that Robert Louis Stevenson had dreamed of since boyhood. With the help of Margaret's journal, Barbara Brill has compiled an account of their travels.

A series of eight programmes. Conceived in Sweden, born in 1946, the Light Programme's long-running request show catered for the needs of women at home - and in that age of austerity the needs were great. With the help of material from newspaper, magazine and radio archives, Russell Davies and Julie Covington tell of those times and present recordings that were requested and played in the original programmes.
