Tea or Books?

Tea or Books? #62: Internet vs Bookshop and Mr Pim Passes By vs Four Days’ Wonder


Listen Later

Two novels by A.A. Milne and we get deep about Amazon.

In the first half, we talk buying books in bookshops vs buying books online – taking our cue from a suggestion by Karen – and then we wander into a discussion about Amazon that isn’t especially conclusive. In the second half, we compare two books by my favourite (probably) author – Mr Pim Passes By and Four Days’ Wonder. You can see a filming of the play Mr Pim Passes By on YouTube.

You can see our iTunes page, and you can support the podcast at Patreon. Or you can just listen via the sound file above or through any podcast app. The blog I mention is Indie Lit Fic.
