When we're full of full transparency, now we're on the national airwaves.

False premise to Puffin.

I could have been cancelled, Clare.

Go on, tell us the lie.

I wrote to the editor at the time when I pitched the book.

I said, oh, after they'd bought the book, I said, it's based on an Irish legend.

Now, I wasn't telling a lie.

In my head, I thought it was based on an Irish legend.

A Patricia legend.

Well, obviously, but I thought that I learned that story as a child.

So it was totally in my head.

And my daughter was studying kind of Celtic Civ and heritage at the time.

And she said, I've never heard of that legend, Mum.

And I said, no, no, don't be silly.

Of course it is a legend.

And then she asked her lecturer and the lecturer said, no.

Never heard of that.

So that I had to write to them and say, actually, it may not be a legend.

Was this a family story or was it something that you invented?

No, I think what happened was there are bits of Irish mythology in that book.
