[Page 15 article] Television News of the Week: Child Prodigy from Iceland
Thorunn Tryggvason, a fifteen-year-old prodigy from Iceland, will be the soloist in a concert by the BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Clarence Raybould, which will be televised from the BBC Maida Vale Studios on Tuesday. 'Dodie,' as Miss Tryggvason is known to her friends, first played the piano in public when she was only three. She came to this country from Iceland in 1946 and a year later, when she was seven, gave a recital at Duke's Hall in the Royal Academy. Tuesday's concert will be her first major one in London and she will play two movements from Mozart's Piano Concerto in C.
This concerto is one of three Mozart wrote in 1785 when he was twenty-nine years old. All three bear out Haydn's moving declaration to Mozart's father: 'Before God and as an honest man I tell you that your son is the greatest composer known to me either in person or by name.'

Adapted from the short story by A.A. Milne.

Tristram is the Colonel's son and his major joy. Letters from him are eagerly awaited and carefully, and privately, read and savoured. Letters from Tristram mean as much to the Colonel as letters from her nephew mean to poor Miss Allardyce who lives next door. They keep the sick lady alive. That they should stop is her nurse's constant dread...
