Download Family And Friendship with Bobby Seagull

Dan Smith, Irenosen Okojie and Simon Savidge are joined by Libraries Champion and author Bobby Seagull, to discuss the Novels That Shaped Our World list. On this episode, they look at the category of Family and Friendship, which includes books by Roald Dahl, George Eliot, Dodie Smith and Armistead Maupin.

They also discuss the joy of libraries, the power of reading on memory and just how many library cards it would take to get to the moon, if they were all stacked on top of each other.

We'll also hear from Professor Sebastian Groes, from the University Of Wolverhampton, about their findings from research they have conducted into the Novels That Shaped Our World list.
