Written and produced by Alan Burgess
with Earl Cameron

When Harcourt White was sixteen years old he was attending a mission school in Eastern Nigeria. He was an alert, intelligent youngster with a bright future before him. Then one day he noticed the ominous white markings upon his hands. It was leprosy-and that meant he was condemned to squalid isolation on a sandbank.
(The recorded broadcast of May 16, 1960, in the Light Programme)
