‘Over two decades of close association I had nothing but complete admiration for Neville and his craft as a reader. Nicolas Soames, former Publisher of Naxos AudioBooks, has fond memories of his time working with Neville. His work for Naxos was recognised on several occasions: as a director, he won Talkie Awards for Great Expectations and Poets of the Great War and as a reader, he won AudioFile Earphone Awards for The Captive, Time Regained, The Once and Future King and War and Peace (Best Audiobooks of the Year 20). Perhaps most notable was his Remembrance of Things Past by his beloved Proust, but his readings extended to the literary classics of Russia ( War and Peace Evgenii Onegin) and England ( The Once and Future King and Far from the Madding Crowd). Neville began his association with Naxos AudioBooks in the very early days of the label and was a prolific contributor to its output. He was a member of the BBC Radio Drama Company three times, and was often heard in radio plays, documentaries and arts programmes. Amongst his film work was the Bond movie From Russia With Love.

Television appearances included Maigret, Dr Who, Hamlet, Crime and Punishment, Dixon of Dock Green, When the Boat Comes In, Minder, Dempsey and Makepeace, and Windmill Near a Frontier.


In addition, Neville appeared in numerous musicals, including Kiss Me Kate and Irma La Douce. He was a member of the Old Vic Company, the English Stage Company, the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Birmingham Repertory Company. His first appearance in the theatre was in Peter Brook’s production of Titus Andronicus starring Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh.

It's for those free-floating thoughts and observations that are interesting, but maybe don't deserve an entire post all to themselves (although, who knows, with enough conversation and development, they may become full-fledged after all someday). The general hub is meant to serve as a general-purpose discussion board for the book in question. This book was originally written in English. This is the general hub post for The Candle in the Wind by T.H.
