This week I chat with historian, author and podcaster Jackson Van Uden about History, Dictators and George Orwell. We discuss the books he has received as gifts, and the people who have given them, drawing stories out of these gifts to paint a brief picture of the people closest to him. We go on to discuss his dream hideaway - a modernist beach house with sauna and pool looking over a calm ocean, with a classic library room tucked away with fire, large wooden desks, and a book collection that would serve him to keep exploring the world through its histories.To find out more about Jackson and his podcast, visit: History With JacksonAnd if you want to find out more about my work as a library curator, and how I might be able to work for you, do visit my website on: A Room Of Your Own
