Anne Lamott on 'Pippi Longstocking'

Great writers are great readers. And they have amazing stories to tell. Not just about the books they write, but about the books they read. 

Anne Strainchamps and the producers behind “To the Best of Our Knowledge” have been asking authors for years to tell a story about that one book that left a mark. A book they can’t forget. A book that changed everything.

Now they’re sharing these stories with you, delivered in a weekly micro-podcast. New bite-sized episodes every Friday.
