Short Story
MONG the short stories which have been chosen for reading in the NZBS productions, I thought "Sandy’s Victory," heard from 4YA recently, among the least inspiring. I have given these stories a miss for a few weeks, having listened so regularly to all the examples I could get on my radio that I thought my judgment might be getting warped. There have been so many fine stories read in this series that it was a pity I had to resume listening with "Sandy’s Victory," an exciting yarn, but not up to the highe&t short story standard. William Austin read with energy the story of the Aussie and his beloved dog who outwitted a ferocious crocodile, and he made its dramatic climax as telling as possible. But the story itself seems more suited, by the nature of its content and style, to the type of programme Bryan O’Brien makes so popular with children at the ZB stations.
