When Boreas Blows
Episode 4 of 4
Written and read by Fay Weldon. When everything else life seems uncertain, a young boy takes comfort in his acer tree.
When Perry is born, his parents plant a Japanese Acer outside his window. And as Perry grows, so does the tree, tall, pale and delicate.
By the time Perry is three, the branches reach up to his bedroom window and creak as if they had something to say. That was when the North wind blew. 'It's only Boreas talking,' his father told him. 'King of the North wind. He's cold and strong but he looks after you.'
