It was a pleasure chatting to Zelah Roberts, whose debut novel, Midsummer Man was published on 14th July 2021 which was midsummer’s day. Our conversation covered many topics including: how books can help children as young as under fives manage difficult emotions, and the Romantic Poets – ‘When you slow down to focus on a single image in poetry the meaning opens up like a flower.’ A wonderful description by Zelah. I hope that you enjoy this episode as much as I did.
The books Zelah chose:
1. Home for a Bunny by Margaret Wise Brown
3. The Prelude by William Wordsworth
4. Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling
5. Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
