In Search of Margaret Buckle
A slim volume of nature poems caught the eye of composer Ted Watson. The writing was full of strong visual images. He set some of them to music and then set out to find the author - with nothing to go on but her name, a map and a hunch. Nigel Forde retraced Ted's steps across the Yorkshire moors to discover the truth about this mysterious poet. Producer GWYN RICHARDS BBC Pebble Mill
