Jennings' Little Hut
First broadcast: Mon 12th May 2008, 15:30 on BBC Radio 4 FM
Mark Williams reads Anthony Buckeridge's story,
abridged by Roy Apps


Jennings and Darbishire build a hut by the pond in the grounds (as do all their friends), take a goldfish for a walk in the swimming pool and have a trying afternoon with a pane of glass. Jennings falls into the pond while he, Darbishire, Temple and Venables are sailing their home-made yacht 'The Revenge' on an illicit Sunday visit to said pond - and this, together with the small matter of Jennings and Darbishire's hut collapsing on the visiting Archbeako, leads to a temporary ban on hut-building. Darbishire makes his one and only appearance in an inter-house cricket match and makes a memorable last wicket stand.
