Description: 1971 Hilda Tablet and Others: Four Pieces for Radio by Henry Reed 1st ed. HBDJ Click images to enlarge Description Hilda Tablet and Others: Four Pieces for Radio by Henry Reed Pub. British Broadcasting Corporation, 1971 First edition Hardback in dustjacket 204 pages. A landmark in radio satire by Henry Reed (1914 – 1986), poet, translator, radio dramatist, and journalist. The Hilda Tablet series starts with A Very Great Man Indeed, which purports to be a documentary about the research for a biography of a dead poet and novelist called Richard Shewin. However, the 'Twelve-tone composeress' Hilda Tablet, a friend of Richard Shewin, became the most interesting character in the play; and in the next play, she persuades the biographer to change the subject of the biography to her – telling him "not more than twelve volumes". Dame Hilda, as she later became, was based partly on Ethel Smyth and partly on Elisabeth Lutyens (who was not pleased, and considered legal action). Very good condition in worn & torn dustjacket.
