Description

Old friends Charlie Gladstone and Giles Andreae talk about Giles' remarkable career. Giles has created characters including Purple Ronnie and Edward Monkton and sold millions of children's books. For a long time he was also Europe's best-selling poet. But that's not all; he has also suffered from two bouts of cancer and some appalling depression. He's a true optimist, a fearless creator and a keen observer of people and the lives they lead.
