This week, we have the absolute privilege of sitting down for a chat with writer Amy Jeffs, illustrator Gwen Burns and musician Natalie Brice to talk about their absolutely stunning new book, 'Old Songs'. This collection of stories, songs and imagery from ten British ballads is a truly multi-media experience. From the romantic ballad of Tam Lin to the domestic scenes of Willie's Lady, the book brings these old ballads to life for modern audiences through Amy's wondrous prose, Gwen's moving illustrations and Natalie's haunting arrangements of the traditional songs, which you can hear on the audiobook.
We are lucky enough to have a sneak peek at some of the stories and the music as part of the episode.
If you want to see Amy, Gwen and Natalie on tour, then head to Amy's website for more details.
