Daljit Nagra selects 'Adventures in Poetry - Journey of the Magi' featuring the work by TS Eliot.

"A cold coming we had of it, / Just the worst time of the year / For a journey, and such a long journey ..."

TS Eliot's poem for Epiphany, "Journey of the Magi", is one of his most popular poems.

Yet it is deceptively complex and, as Peggy Reynolds discovers, takes us on our own journey to somewhere very far removed from the simple certainties of the Three Wise Men at the manger.

Readings by Alec Guiness and TS Eliot.

Producer Christine Hall
