Good Old G-H!

1. She studied with the best;... 2. She knew everyone - Martin Buzacott , “10 things you should know about Peggy Glanville-Hicks,” at www.abc.net.au

The pleasant works of Glanville-Hicks

Are still, Down Under, in the mix;

She learned composing from the best,

And stories on the web attest

She knew the sorts of folks worth knowing.

And so, in light of the foregoing,

How did come to be, I wonder.

That, exclusive of Down Under,

Performers choose to eighty-six

The pleasant works of Glanville-Hicks.
