The competing charms of art and music vie for Miss Brodie's favours.

Read by Gerda Stevenson.

Set in the 1930s, Muriel Spark's novel tells the justly enduring story of Jean Brodie - a teacher at the Marcia Blaine School for Girls in Edinburgh.

Eschewing the normal curriculum, Miss Brodie seeks to mould her 'set' of girls 'of an impressionable age', into the 'cr猫me de la cr猫me'. But her convictions spark complications as some begin to question her authority and purpose.

Abridged by Sally Marmion.

Producer: Di Speirs
