In episode five, Kiran Millwood Hargrave joins me to talk about Garth Nix's 1995 fantasy classic, Sabriel.
Kiran is the award-winning and bestselling writer of several books for adults and young people including The Girl of Ink and Stars, The Mercies and most recently the start of brand new fantasy series, In the Shadow of the Wolf Queen. We chat about magical bells, how Kiran uses books of power for each of her projects, and why it’s so important not to patronise young readers.
You can find Sabriel and In the Shadow of the Wolf Queen on my Bookshop.org page, where you can get free shipping with the code BOOKWANDERER: https://uk.bookshop.org/lists/bookwandering-the-podcast-s2
Next week's episode is the last before we take a small break and features Kate Di Camillo on The Borrowers by Mary Norton.
The podcast is produced by Adam Collier with artwork by Hester Kitchen.
