Rebecca Eaton looks back on 25 fascinating years at Masterpiece Theatre and Mystery!" --USA Today When Rebecca Eaton became the producer of Masterpiece Theatre in 1985, she hadn't actually seen many of the episodes. Nor did she even like mystery novels, though she would be required to choose stories for Mystery! But the lifelong Anglophile seized her chance to make a mark in the budding public television system. Twenty-eight years later, Masterpiece is one of television's hottest shows, and Eaton is responsible for its triumphant transition from the "quill-pen" era into the digital age. Filled with anecdotes about (and the occasional interview with) the unforgettable hosts, the inspired creators, and the many talented actors she's worked with over the years, Making Masterpiece is a compulsively readable treat for any fan of these beloved and iconic programs.…

About the Authors Kenneth McLeish (1940-1997) was one of Britain's most respected and prolific writers, playwrights and translators. Born in Glasgow and educated at Bradford Grammar School and Worcester College, Oxford (where he studied Classics and Music under Edmund Rubbra), he taught for several years before turning full-time to writing in 1975. He is celebrated for translating all 47 surviving classical Greek plays into modern English, as well as major works by Ibsen, Feydeau, Molière, Strindberg and others. His translations were staged by the Royal Shakespeare Company, National Theatre and many other companies. He also produced numerous popular reference works including The Bloomsbury Good Reading Guide, Myth, and The Penguin Companion to the Arts in the Twentieth Century. Valerie McLeish (née Heath), a trained music teacher, collaborated closely with her husband on several music titles, most notably The Listener's Guide to Classical Music and the present volume. Their partnership combined Kenneth's classical scholarship and broad cultural knowledge with Valerie's practical experience of music education, producing books that are both authoritative and accessible to young readers. Illustrators and Design Designed by Ann Samuel. Illustrated by a team of talented artists: Carl Melegari, David Eaton, John Dugan, David Mostyn, Gary Rees, Tony Morris and John Woodcock. Picture research by Peta Hambling, Elisabeth Agate and Carol Cleal. The book is richly illustrated with a mixture of full-colour photographs, historical images, and lively, informative line drawings and cartoons that perfectly complement the text and appeal strongly to children. A bright, appealing copy of this classic Oxford children's music companion - ideal for collectors of illustrated educational books, music teachers, or anyone seeking an engaging introduction to the world of music for younger readers. Ann Samuel, Carl Melegari, David Eaton, John Dugan, David Mostyn, Gary Rees, Tony Morris, John Woodcock (illustrator).…
