Kingsley you'll probably know better as the author of The Water Babies, Hereward the Wake or perhaps The Heroes, based on Greek myths but Westward Ho! was the novel chosen in 1925 by the BBC as the first to ever be adapted onto the wireless.

Westward Ho! part 1
Based on the novel by Charles Kingsley with artwork by Bill Baker.
