Penny Peep-Hole
A programme for a cosy winter evening
In long-ago winters when window-panes were thick with frost, children used to make peep-holes by placing hot pennies on the glass. This programme of song and story is rather like one of these peep-holes-through it you will have glimpses of pleasant fireside things, and also of the wintry things outdoors that make the fireside all the cosier.
