Margaret Thatcher 1

Narrator: In this next short talk, Margaret Thatcher, the future Prime Minister of England, reminisces about her family and her childhood, and she and her family's love of music. She vividly describes her first awe inspiring visit to London. Her smaller city background had not prepared her for the many wonders of London, including a first walk past by No.10 Downing Street (the Home of the Prime Minister) little knowing that someday she would be living there.

"Age 10, I was the proud winner of a prize at the Grantham Eisteddfod for reciting poetry. In the first years of the war I would go out as part of a concert party to the surrounding villages, and recite from my Oxford Book of English Verse. A book which even now, is never far from reach.
