On the road he meets wealthy spinster Elizabeth Trant, and along with unfulfilled music teacher Inigo Jollifant, joins the flagging concert troupe Miss Trant has decided to fund.

About the Author:
John Boynton Priestley (1894-1984) was a British novelist, playwright and broadcaster, who published 27 novels and numerous dramas including An Inspector Calls.
Review:
* As cheerfully escapist for today's listeners as it was for readers when it first came out in 1929. The Times * Priestley was a grand writer...we should still listen to him, before time runs out...I am extremely pleased an effort is being made to re-kindle interest in this great writer. Beryl Bainbridge
