Download Coming Of Age with Frank Cottrell-Boyce

Hosts Dan, Irenosen and Simon are joined by author and screenwriter Frank Cottrell-Boyce to look at the "Coming Of Age" category in the BBC's Novels That Shaped Our World list. This list of 10 books includes the Twighlight Saga, the Harry Potter Books and Sue Townsend's classic "The Secret Diary Of Adrian Mole, Aged 13 3/4"

Frank discusses his writing and inspirations, how important libraries are to him and what he thinks is missing from the list. We also hear from Professor Sebastian Groes, on some findings that his research unearthed about the Coming Of Age novels in this list.
