A classic old time radio adaptation of National Velvet, originally broadcast in nineteen forty-seven, bringing Enid Bagnold’s beloved story to life through powerful performances and rich audio storytelling. Set in rural England, the drama follows Velvet Brown, a determined young girl whose quiet life is transformed when she wins a spirited horse and dares to dream beyond the limits placed on her by society, tradition, and circumstance.

Through courage, discipline, and unwavering belief, Velvet pursues the impossible goal of competing in the Grand National steeplechase, a race forbidden to women. This moving radio production captures themes of perseverance, identity, and self-discovery, delivering emotional depth and inspiration through dialogue alone, as was the hallmark of the golden age of radio.
