This episode was recorded live at FantasyCon 2022 so the sound is a little echoey
Laura is a games writer, Manga translator and the award-winning author of Sing Your Sadness Deep (2019) among other wonderful things. You can follow her on Twitter here, and find out more at LauraMauro.com
Laura’s choice: Moominland Midwinter by Tove Jansson
Ali’s choice: The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo
We mention Tove Jansson’s biography by Boel Westin
I really love Kate DiCamillo’s work, and John Coxon read Flora & Ulysses for the podcast back in November 2021. You can listen again here.
The trailer of The Tale of Despereaux adapted from Kate DiCamillo here
Laura remembers the Japanese cartoons of the Moomins. I love the German stop motion animations. I mention the Moomins on the Riviera film
Thanks as always to Steve Vapour Trails for production assistance and to Jack Sadler-Johnson for the use of his beautiful track Bliss. Thank you to the committee for giving me a programme slot, and to the audience for coming along and asking questions! See you at FantasyCon 2023!
