Lemn Sissay Returns
Book Shambles
Lemn Sissay returns to Book Shambles to chat about his bestseller ‘My Name is Why’ to chat with Robin and Josie. This is part one of Lemn’s return because there was a travel issue, which means this episode is shorter than normal, but we’ve recorded a full episode with Lemn, with Robin and Natalie Haynes because the following week, Josie was away, and that’ll be out next week…
In the meantime enjoy this chat of poetry, Harry Potter and lost book shops…
