Sunday Feature: Somme

Series 1, episode 0

As part of Radio 3's Music on the Brink season, poet Paul Farley journeys down the Somme, a river whose sleepy character belies its violent history, in battles from the 1066 invasion to the First World War. Paul also explores how the river has also inspired the creative imagination, such as that of Jules Verne, who wrote 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Around the World in 80 Days while living near the river at Amiens
