In this interview episode, we talk to author and poet Clare Pollard about her latest novel: The Modern Fairies.
Set in the Paris and Versailles of Louis the XIV, the novel drops us into the heart of Madame D’Alnouy’s illustrious, raucous, and radical salon. It's "Disney meets Dangerous Liaisons" and a brilliant, cosy read.
We talk to Clare about fairy tales, writing, salons, audiobooks and plenty more besides.
Discover Clare's writings through her website. You can also subscribe to her Substack and follow her on Instagram.
And treat yourself to a copy of The Modern Fairies while you're at it.
