    If anyone is interested, every day this week at 3.30pm on Radio 4, there is a reading from J.H.Williams' (Elephant Bill) book 'Big Charlie'. Published in 1957, the book recounts the story of Big Charlie, a bull Asian Elephant that belonged to several owners during the 1950s and 60s. The radio recordings concern Big Charlie's walk from the Butlin's holiday camp in Ayre to that in Filey.
