Ridgeway Radio is pleased to tell you about a new beautifully produced book of stories and poems from Dorset writer Sue Worth, now available from Waterstones, South Street, Dorchester<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Some people have an ear for music, Sue Worth has an ear for a good story and the poetry of human speech.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the \u2018The Cows Who Played Bingo\u2019 a range of characters from the 1950\u2019s to the present day tell their stories directly to the reader in everyday English, easy to read dialect or a mix of both.<\/p>\n

The book includes stories Sue heard as a child growing up in Stratton or while working and living in West Dorset and variously published in The Countryman, broadcast on BBC Radio 4 and BBC Radio Solent (competition judged by Kate Clanchy who encouraged Sue when she read her winning poem ‘My Place’ on air), read by The Orchard Theatre Company and performed by The New Hardy Players and others.<\/p>\n

The one people are most likely to have heard is the humorous \u2018Arringe Juice an Moosli\u2019 which Brian Caddy has performed across Dorset and beyond.\u00a0 In it an older agricultural worker takes it on himself to educate a young college chap who\u2019s arrived unprepared for working the land in winter \u2013 and just what might he have had for breakfast?<\/p>\n

Evocative illustrations from local artists Naomi Price\u00a0and Liz Poulain.<\/p>\n

The Cows who Played Bingo available from Waterstones, South Street, Dorchester<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
