A programme for children under five
Nursery rhymes, stories, and music
During the month that has gone by since these programmes for the ' under-fives' began, our small listeners have come to know and to listen for the voice of Julia Lang who has been their storyteller every day. Some of them call her the ' story lady.' and. for one little boy. she has always been the ' pussy-lady,' because of the first story she ever told-the one about Peter, the Black Kitten. Julia Lang will come back again later, but today the children begin to make a new friend in Daphne Oxenford , who will be their 'story lady ' for this second month. We have been very pleased to learn from the many postcards and letters we have received that the telling of these stories does not stop with our storytellers. Mothers say how they are being called upon to repeat them over and over again at all sorts of times and in all sorts of places, and in this way many are beginning to build up a stock of stories to use again, tailoring and embroidering them to fit individual home circumstances.
