V. E. Schwab / Lina Rather / Oliver Darkshire

This week, we travel to the Big Smoke! It's London across time and relative dimensions in space, with magic and monsters and the mystery of antiquarian book-selling. ITINERARY: V.E. Schwab (The Fragile Threads of Power) talks about the joy of revisiting old friends on the page, the complicated ethics of power, and why it is that London calls to her. Lina Rather (A Season of Monstrous Conceptions) takes us back to the days after the Great Fire with deep research on midwifery and Sir Christopher Wren, and what it means to wander (literally or literarily) a city of such immense history as London. Oliver Darkshire (Once Upon a Tome) shares a bit of insight into the life of an antiquarian bookseller, a bookshop's life in a city like London, and why it is important that we hold onto and celebrate the things we love.
