Time : Morning, before breakfast
The action all takes place on board ship, so that listeners will inevitably be reminded here and there of Gilbert and Sullivan's H.M.S. Pinafore. There are, indeed, one or two numbers cast in the same whimsical strain, and the discipline on board was not like that which prevails in real life. There is a fairy element, however, of which the happiest use is made both in the text and in Sir George Henschel 's music.

A Fantasy by MILES MALLESON
The Spirit of the Sunset
This little fairy play takes place during the War. Outside an old creeper-laden cottage, in a clearing in a wood, sits Grandpa, asleep. In the foreground lies.a child, flat on his back, and around him are strewn his toys.
