John Freeman talks to poet and critic Dame Edith Sitwell about her life and work. The unconventional dame was true to form, answering questions in a way only she could. And she dressed for the occasion - in a headdress she called her 'bird king's hat', an ermine jacket and huge rings on her fingers. First broadcast in 1959.
