' Roads of England'
A play by L. du Garde Peach No. 1—' Before the Romans came'
L. du Garde Peach's Children's Hour plays all arose out of a postscript: ' How would you like a play about the Golden Fleece ? '. It resulted in Arthurian Legends, Fables of Æsop, Nordic Sagas, ' Tower of London ', Waterways of England ', and ' Roads of England ', one of the very best of his series, which is being revived today.
In the opening play you will sit beside the path that climbs over the shoulder of the Wiltshire Downs, the first home of civilised man in this country ; and, sitting there, you will hear what might have taken place 2,000 years ago, when wolves were common all over England, and roads were only tracks and bridle paths. These paths were not metalled like those made by the Romans, but this did not matter very much because heavy carts were unknown.
The type of men who used these roads you will hear in these broadcasts, and such is the genius of L . du Garde Peach that it will all seem real.
