Colonel Philemon Bigua , an exile from a South American Republic, lives in Paris. He is vastly rich, vastly eccentric -and very human. He and his gentle wife Desporosia have no children of their own, so the Colonel decides to steal his family from among the unwanted and the unloved. He finds them in the most surprising places. All goes at least fairly well until he steals, at her own father's request, a pretty young girl. Then complications arise. It is with these complications that a great deal of The Man Who Stole Children is concerned. Dorothy Baker

Suite No. 2 for unaccompanied cello played by Zara Nelspva

First of two talks by P. Leon
Professor of Classics at
University College, Leicester
The modern professor can trace his ancestry back to the Sophists of fifth-century Greece. It is their spirit, Professor Leon suggests in this talk, that is operative more and more in our present-day European civilisation, which is now rapidly becoming the only world civilisation.
