The scripts and other writings published here were written by Orwell when he worked full time for the BBC from 1940 to 1943 (actually, they were known to be on file in the BBC Archives but were apparently not regarded as important enough to be published). This collection, in need of more generous and scholarly footnoting but with a helpful introduction by the editor, includes previously unprinted ad aptations Orwell made of some of his favorite stories of Silone, H.G.Wells, and Anatole France, as well as 250 letters he wrote to writers and contributors to the BBC. A poetry radio magazine called Voice and a story with chapters written by separate authors commissioned by Orwell are also reprinted here. Yet to be published are scripts Orwell wrote for the BBC while not a full-time employee (and whose copyrights are owned by publishers other than the BBC). A welcome addition to Orwelliana.
