The Mystery of the Clockwork Sparrow. On stage with Robin Stevens at Hay Festival. I have great memories of visiting Hay-on-Wye as a child. What could be better than a place that describes itself as a ‘town of books’? But although I’d visited previously, and enjoyed rummaging through the bookshops for treasures, and exploring the glorious countryside, I’d never actually been to Hay Festival before.

Down the Rabbit Hole: Our Second Greenaway Special. Down the Rabbit Hole. One of our earlier Down the Rabbit Hole episodes. Broadcast this time last year, was dedicated to celebrating the CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal. I suspect that one of the reasons it still feels so exciting to talk about illustration on the radio on DTRH is simply that we hear these kinds of detailed discussions of illustrators’ work so rarely in the mainstream media.

A – Z Challenge. Book Review: Number 11 by Jonathan Coe. November 8, 2016. November 5, 2016. What’s it about? This is a novel about the hundreds of tiny connections between the public and private worlds and how they affect us all. It’s about the legacy of war and the end of innocence. It’s about how comedy and politics are battling it out and comedy might have won. It’s about how 140 characters can make fools of us all. It is Jonathan Coe doing what he does best – showing us how we live now. I managed to...

A – Z Challenge. Chocolate Microwave Mug Cake. November 13, 2016. November 12, 2016. If you’re in dire need of a bit of cake or an emergency pudding, then look no further! My fellow book and baking blogger friend Claire posted this recipe at Art and Soul.

And bake…oh ok, microwave! The cake has a den...
