Welcome to Stig Abell’s Guide to Reading. In this episode, Stig chats to author and journalist Sam Leith about two English Classics: Geoffrey Chaucer's THE CANTERBURY TALES and Jane Austen's PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. In addition, they discuss whether so-called 'classics' are actually enjoyable to read, the characters they love to hate, and which of Chaucer's famous pilgrims they'd go for a pint with!
The podcast is an accompaniment to Stig's book THINGS I LEARNED ON THE 6.28: A GUIDE TO DAILY READING, published by John Murray Press on 12th November 2020.
