Hermann Hesse featured on Radio 4

Fans and readers of Hermann Hesse may be interested to hear about a forthcoming programme on Hermann Hesse, due to be aired on Radio 4 on 20.8.12. Called The Magic Theatre of Hermann Hesse, it comes from Falling Tree Productions. This is the fiftieth anniversary year of our famous publication of Siddhartha and we will be publishing a special Limited Edition, due for publication around the time of the programme. This will be available from only a few outlets and this website will be one of the few places to secure a copy of this very special edition.
