Historical fact and historical fiction take over the Penguin Podcast for this episode all about writing and the past. Sarah Blake talks about her World War II novel The Postmistress, as well as the difficulties and rewards of writing about a different time; John Stubbs takes us back to the 17th Century to introduce us to two reprobates of the English Civil War; and Penguin audiobooks editor Ravina Bajwa introduces an excerpt from Anne Frank's Diary of a Young Girl read by Helena Bonham Carter.
We hope you enjoy it!
