Joining Charles Adrian for the 114th Second Hand Book Factory is academic Liz Bailey. They talk about the blending of voices, the ravages of the free market and the creation of a magical-realistic world.

By pure coincidence, Page One 118, which features Isbel James, was recorded just over the road from the house where this episode was recorded. You can find that here.

Stand-Up Tragedy, which is mentioned both here and in the previous episode, is a storytelling and performance night hosted by Dave Pickering. More information about the night is here. Dave Pickering is featured in Page One 82.

Other books by Terry Pratchett are discussed in Page One 73 (The Colour Of Magic) and Page One 181 (Small Gods).

In case you are interested, the only German novel Charles Adrian has read in its entirety in German is discussed in Page One 44.
