Syima Aslam & Stig Abell
A Good Read - A podcast by BBC Radio 4
Categories:
Syima Aslam, co-founder of the Bradford Literature Festival, and journalist Stig Abell, editor of the TLS, are part of the expert panel that chose the BBC’s 100 Novels That Shaped Our World. They join presenter Harriett Gilbert to pluck their own favourites from the list. Syima's is Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J. K. Rowling, Stig's is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen and presenter Harriett Gilbert gives Orlando by Virginia Woolf an airing. And for some reason this turns out to be the first time that these three stone cold classics have been chosen on A Good Read. Producer Beth O'Dea join us on instagram @agoodreadbbc
