Award-winning author Rachel Khong joins me to talk about Half Magic, Edward Eager's 1954 fantasy classic about a family who find a coin that grants them half wishes. Rachel is the author of Goodbye, Vitamin and most recently Real Americans, which is out now in paperback. We talk about Eager's love of E. Nesbit, why Rachel went back to Half Magic when writing Real Americans and how to write magic in literary fiction. 

You can find Real Americans and my own books on my Bookshop page, although Half Magic is out of print in the UK currently:  https://uk.bookshop.org/lists/bookwandering-the-podcast
