Books and Authors - A Good Read: Chris Smith, Mavis Cheek

Download A Good Read: Chris Smith, Mavis Cheek

Lord Chris Smith, chairman of the Environment Agency, and novelist Mavis Cheek are Harriett Gilbert's guests in this edition of A Good Read. Each brings a very different recommended read to the studio: a series of essays celebrating the wild places in nature; an early novel by a poet; and a profound but disquieting debut novel about a disturbed child.
