For Children of All Ages
' The House at Pooh Corner ' by A. A. Milne
Arranged for broadcasting by David Davis with music by H. Fraser-Simson
5—' Eeyore Joins the Game '
At the piano Gwenn Knight
Production by Josephine Plummer
Where the track to the Forest crossed the river there was a bridge, almost as broad as a road, with wooden rails on each side of it. Christopher Robin could just get his chin on to the top rail, if he wanted to, and Pooh could get his chin on to the bottom rail if he wanted to, but it was more fun to lie down and get his head under it, and watch the river slipping slowly away beneath him. And this was how, one day, he came to invent the game of Poohsticks.

Talk by Firooze Colaabavala
The speaker tells how after his service with the Indian Army and Navy he was filled with wanderlust. He decided to hitch-hike from Bombay to Buckingham Palace for the Coronation. He thought of staying in London, but instead he set off for Lapland.... ' My life as a wanderer is an answer to all my prayers, all my confusion.'
(The recorded broadcast of May 2 in the Light Programme series ' Off the Cuff')
