Sophy Henn (& A Coronation)

The Island of Brilliant! - A podcast by Frank Cottrell Boyce and Nadia Shireen

Categories:

A HUGE day on the island as our Frank becomes the new children's laureate! It's been quite the journey from Coronation Street to coronation, but nobody deserves it more. Everyone's delighted though he does seem to want to rub our noses in it just a touch so let's see how long that lasts. It could be a long two years.  Nadia and Frank are joined by the glorious wonder that is Sophy Henn who talks brilliantly about the joy of facts, her circuitous route to the world of children's books - and why some books just wouldn't be quite the same without sugary sweets to light their spark.
