This week we're travelling to lovely, leafy Henley-on-Thames (home of the great Bell Bookshop) for a very special episode live from the Henley Lit Fest, specifically the grand confines of the Town Hall. This week's guest is the historian, novelist, TV presenter and Celebrity Mastermind champion Professor Kate Williams! Kate has written four novels and nine history books and, as you will hear, has many more in the pipeline. We talked to her about erotic deaths, reading addictions, time travel and light library fraud.
This episode is brought to you by Curzon Cinemas new film Non-Fiction.
