We have a holiday special on Talking of Books this week. Isobel Abulhoul (host) and Yvette Judge (co-host) are joined by book champion Natalie Madison for a discussion on Laura Ingles Wilder’s classic ‘Farmer Boy’. Then, Prachiti Talathi and Monita and Ronita Mohan tell us why they think the ‘1001… Before you Die’ series make excellent holiday gifts. In our final hour, Shen Husain shares her thoughts on ‘The Christmas Promise’ by Sue Moorcroft as well as children’s books for Christmas. We also get to hear from Moorcroft via phone.
