Peter France reads Viper Lies Coiled

Peter France

Viper Lies Coiled is an allegorical tale based on extremism. Extremists fail to see goodness and beauty in life, fail to see the joy of inquisitiveness and exploration and only desire to see the world as a reflection of themselves. It is read by veteran broadcaster, writer, friend and mentor - Peter France.

Why a Curlew?

I love curlew, they have the most beautiful, haunting call, inhabit that wild hinterland between land and sea and manage to look comical and lovely at the same time. They are also associated with an ancient celtic saint. Legend has it that St Beuno was sailing off the coast of Wales and dropped his book of sermons into the water. A curlew flew down, scooped up the book and took it to the shore to keep it safe. From then on St Beuno blessed all curlew and said they should be protected for ever, hence their nests are really difficult to find.

I wrote an article for The Tablet called Call of the Curlew, it was published in 2006.
