This week the castaway on Desert Island Discs is the landscape photographer Fay Godwin. Her evocative pictures brought Fay Godwin to the notice of the poet Ted Hughes and their collaboration Remains of Elmet led Fay to "discover Britain through the soles of her feet", taking photographs as she walked the length and breadth of the British Isles. In conversation with Sue Lawley, she talks about her life and work and chooses eight records to take to the mythical island.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs]Favourite track: 5th movement, String Quartet No 13 in Bflat by Ludwig van Beethoven Book: The Rattlebag: An Anthology of Poetry by Ted Hughes Luxury: Egg tempura paints, brushes, and boards to paint on
