Mills

Available for 16 days

From The Watermill by composer Ronald Binge to Windy Miller, Don Quixote tilting at windmills and the windmills of your mind. Readers Jane Horrocks and Art Malik take us from George Eliot's rural setting of The Mill on the Floss to the factory strikes in Elizabeth Gaskell's novel North and South via Helen Mort's poem describing gentrification at Litton Mill. Alfred Lord Tennyson's love poem describes The Miller's Daughter 'grown so dear', Stephen Sondheim's maid Petra dreams of marrying The Miller's Son and Judith Kerr and John Faulkner wrote the Miller's Song which appeared in the TV programme Bagpuss.
