Publisher's summary

A classic radio version of 'The Birds' which actually predates the Hitchcock film by 10 years! It is a classic horror adventure which is more faithful to the original Daphne Du Maurier novel. One of the classic radio Theatre productions you will want to listen to over and over again!
