Happy Valentine's Day everyone! We kick off our brand new season of weekly episodes with a dreamy chat about our favourite book crushes. Who did we fancy in books growing up? How do we feel about those crushes now, as adults? Is it okay to fancy Aslan? Why is The Secret Garden so sexy? And how do today's children's books broach the subjects of love and yearning differently to the classics?
Two brilliant special guests join us for our season premiere: Caroline O'Donoghue is the host of the podcast Sentimental Garbage and author of the magical YA novel All Our Hidden Gifts. Kate Saunders is the author of Five Children on the Western Front which re-imagines E. Nesbitt's young heroes as older characters facing the spectre of war - and romance.
