A discussion of fiction by Sir Hugh Walpole and Desmond Hawkins
In spite of the war (or is it because of it?) novels and short stories are more popular than ever. This evening's discussion should appeal to all lovers of fiction, for few living novelists have a larger following than has Sir Hugh Walpole. Who is there who has not spent happy hours with his 'Mr. Perrin and Mr. Traill', 'The Prelude to Adventure', 'The Dark Forest', and 'The Cathedral'? In 'Who's Who' Sir Hugh confesses that one of his recreations is 'talking'. When he is talking on books he is certain to be at his best.

A study of the inevitable
Produced by Lance Sieveking Cast
This new radio play, by two authors whose names are known to listeners interested in radio drama, has an interesting theme: the clash between a woman's own ambition and her love for her husband, and the contrast between her success as wife to a famous artist, and her failure as a painter far more original than her husband could ever hope to be.
