RHLSTP Book Club 119 - Louie Stowell

Listen to this episode from RHLSTP with Richard Herring on Spotify. 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?Buy the Loki books herehttps://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/loki-a-bad-god-s-guide-to-being-good-louie-stowell/6431933?ean=9781406399752See RHLSTP recorded live - https://richardherring.com/rhlstp Hosted on Acast.
