Autumn with Katya Balen and M. G. Leonard

Grab your chunky knitwear and wellington boots, everyone! This week we're getting cozy and jumping into a big pile of leaves to celebrate the best of autumnal children's books. Joining us around the bonfire are Katya Balen, winner of the 2022 Carnegie Medal for October, October and M. G. Leonard, bestselling author of the prize-winning The Twitchers series. Listen as we explore why autumn provides such fertile ground for children's books, why it's 100% definitely the BEST season of them all (sorry Spring), and ponder why it's oddly underrepresented in the canon of classics. Plus, discover what we're all reading at the moment, and find out which one of us has a rather stern chicken on our desk. Let us know what you make of the show – or pitch us some new ideas for future episodes – on Twitter or Instagram @dtrhradio.
