Continuing our #lovetoread series about writers across the generations, Sir Quentin Blake and Emma Chichester Clark talk about their new collaboration Three Little Monkeys. Sir Quentin was Emma's tutor at art college, now she has provided the illustrations for his words. So how did it feel to provide the pictures for one of the greatest children's illustrators of our time? The Mothers is an impressive debut from twenty five year old American writer Brit Bennett. She talks to Mariella about the coming of age story set in an oppressive small town community in California. Two new books celebrate our love affair with bookshops. And the collected short stories of Joy Williams is our recommendation for a great November read.
