In this show, recorded LIVE at the Lyric Theatre Hammersmith, Janet is delighted to welcome musician and all round superstar Sophie Ellis-Bextor to discuss her choice of book and find out if parental reading during her childhood was really up to scratch! Sophie chose Just Awful by Alma Marshak Whitney (of whom, not a huge amount is known) but the images in the book are brilliantly drawn by Lilian Hoban, a celebrated illustrator, who brings this simple but heartwarming story to life. To see pictures of the books and our guests - and in this instance images from the recording itself - visit @twiceuponpod on instagram. Twice Upon A Time is a Hat Trick podcast. Producer is Caroline Raphael Recordist and Editor is John Wakefield With thanks to Nathalie Bristow and the team at The Lyric Hammersmith Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
