RHLSTP Book Club 119 - Louie Stowell
Manage episode 452530924 series 10427
Book Club #119 - Loki - A Bad God’s Guide To Making Enemies - Richard talks to author Louie Stowell about her fabulous Loki series and other children’s books. They chat about writing a kids’ book for kids who don’t like reading, fusing Norse myth with everyday school life, how kids are in some ways little mischivous gods who need to learn empathy, why the UK doesn’t embrace its Viking heritage more, how a sentient diary is the perfect antidote for an unreliable writer, the biggest fossilised human poo in the world (perhaps) and whether celebrity children’s authors are a good or bad thing - or do we just let the kids decide if their books are any good or not?
