All Episodes - The Riddle of the Sands

In this reading of The Riddle of the Sands, the quiet reaches of the North Sea are rendered as they were first discovered - not as a playground for idle yachtsmen, but as a theatre of consequence.

The sands keep their secrets poorly for those who observe with care, and it is in such observation that both peril and duty are found.
