Len delves into the new LGBTQ+ inclusive children’s book written in Scots, The Lass and the Quine, with author Ashley Douglas and illustrator Kate Osmond.

Len talks with her guests about how both Scots and Shakespeare are written for performance and about how the rhythm changes when spoken aloud, and about retelling classic fairytales and Elizabethan staples through a modern lens.
