Midsummer’s Day - Sunday Sequence

Plus - writer A N Wilson talks about his latest work -  The Book of the People: How to read The Bible; historian Damian Bracken tells us about Columbanus - the first Irish writer;  teachers and a former chief probation officer discuss why  so many young people leave school unable to read and write, and end up in prison; we hear how a pagan greets the Solstice and how paganism influenced Christianity - and vice versa; and the Swing Gals greet the summer.
