Meet David Sedaris

6.30PM, RADIO 4

Deaths and disappearances in a woodland put the various residents on edge, so they decide to build a big gate. A beaver takes on the construction work; then, a belligerent rabbit appoints himself as a security guard. Soon, a pile of dead animals builds up at the gate, and then, a unicorn decides to pay a visit. David Sedaris, the writer, comedian and stout defender of the English countryside, entertains us with readings from his collection of comic essays.
