"THE LOST CHILD"
New Novel Read As Radio Serial From ZB Stations
read her latest detective thriller, Surfeit of Lampreys, to NBS listeners well before copies of the book were on sale in New Zealand, and in the serial The Lost Child the ZB stations have achieved a somewhat similar "scoop." The Lost Child is an Australian adaptation for radio of Beatrice Grimshaw’s' South Seas romance and, owing to the fact that the first consignment of the book is known to have been lost by enemy action, it may be some time before listeners are able to read it in book form. The Lost Child is an eternal triangle story, set on Thursday Island. Miss Grimshaw knows the islands of the Pacific as few other white women do, and she has spread over her story the cosmopolitan atmosphere of Thursday Island, its half-castes, its pearl divers, and the many nationalities who come to the island to trade in pearls. True to the best traditions of the South Seas love story, the second episode introduces a mysterious half-caste "with a figure like a Greek God." S = months ago, Ngaio Marsh
"The Lost Child" has already started from 1ZB, 2ZB and 3ZB, and will start trom 4ZB on Tuesday, October 14, It is heard at 8.0 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday.
