This will probably only be of interest to those in Britain, or with good
radio receivers, but the UK's Radio 4 is doing an adaptation of Susan
Cooper's "Over Sea, Under Stone", the first of the Dark is Rising
sequence. There have been two episodes so far, and (although I haven't
listened all the way through yet) it seems to be quite well done. One
hopes they will get on to do the _better_ ones in the sequence. The Radio
4 children's department have done a couple of Narnia adaptations recently,
too: _The Horse and His Boy_ was particularly good.
