This is the first broadcast in an ambitious series of programmes that will stretch through the school broadcasting year. Those concerned with the preparation of the course have succeeded in finding a unique method of presenting the fascinations of the past to their young audience.
The opening twelve programmes will deal with the story of the world up to the arrival of early man.
Many listeners will remember
Honor Wyatt's scripts in the ' If I were British ' series last term. In addition to this she has written programmes for the Children's Hour, and presented one or two gramophone programmes.

On August I, 1781, Mozart wrote : ' Yesterday young Stephanie (a librettist) gave me a libretto for an opera. It is a very good one on a Turkish subject..... The overture, the chorus in the first act, and the last chorus of the whole thing I shall work in Turkish music '.
The story is concerned with a Spanish lady, Constanza, who with her English maid Blonda, is captured by the Turkish Pasha Selim and taken to his palace.
It was Mozart's first German opera, and has spoken dialogue between the arias and ensembles.
