Angela Carter’s WISE CHILDREN Part 2: drinking, dancing & writing in Clapham, London


Listen Later

In Part Two, we continue to map out the South London world of ‘Wise Children’’s fictional characters. We find a haberdashers on Clapham High Street, above which Dora and Nora might have learned to dance. 


We stop in at the Coach and Horses pub on Acre Lane - Dora’s local. And we visit Angela Carter’s house in Clapham where this magnificent tale of 20th century show business folk was dreamed up.
