Her best known work is The Rescuers series about two mice named Bernard and Miss Bianca, which was later adapted in two animated feature films - The Rescuers and The Rescuers Down Under - by Disney.
Saturday Night Theatre was a long-running radio drama strand on BBC Radio 4. The strand showcased feature-length, middle-brow single plays on Saturday evenings for more than 50 years, having been launched in April 1943. The plays featured in the strand included stage plays, book adaptations and original dramatisations. For most of its history, programmes ran for 90 minutes and were largely entertainment-centred, such as thrillers, comedies and mysteries.

what a beautiful story!! on so many levels. And Isabel is so correct when she points out that people do not 'put up with' relatives anymore because they haven't been taught to. Pity that. How much better off everyone would be if they surrounded friends and family with a warm blanket of acceptance and love. It is a very lonely cold world out there for most people.
Shortly following the end of WWII, Isabel, a widow, finds herself struck with pangs of conscience. When she was a young woman during WWI, she deliberately interfered with the delivery of a letter meant for someone else. Now she feels she must confess and do what she can to repair the damage.
Forget Downton Abbey. Listening to this makes me feel like I’m there! ❤️
A wonderful seemingly bit of nonsense but actually an insightful study of guilt, selfishness & attempts at making amends within the family.
Living a selfless life....that iscwhat I believe we are called to do. ❤
Thanks. I read Margery Sharp novels years ago. Even Miss Bianca and Bernard. as a librarian ,of course :-)
One of the best plays I heard in ages.
A lighthearted play with no deaths! Lovely change👌
I thoroughly enjoy these old plays from BBC Saturday Night Theatre, so thank you very much for sharing this one,
Wonderful Story
This has so much of the dramatics in it , fairly wore me to a frazzle ! Couldn’t help but keep on listening,
Absolutely brilliant
Lovely!
Charming, charming, charming - loved every second of it! So deliciously British!
That was a delight. Thank you very much.
Another great joy ! How lucky we are to have these provided for us. And Mary Winbush too ! Thankyou very much
Excellent play 😀
If only there was still such brilliant writing as this.
Many thanks X
One in a series of “Sybil Thorndyke’s favorite” plays (as the grand dame Isabel).
