TWICE UPON A TIME (with Janet Ellis)

Episode notes

The brilliant novelist and podcaster Elizabeth Day joins Janet today with her choice of book 'The Ordinary Princess' by M.M.Kaye.

Kaye is probably best known for her novel 'The Far Pavilions' which drew from her time growing up in India, which has also been made into a television series and a musical, but this tale of the princess who strives to be ordinary feels ahead of its time in terms of a female protagonist who is resolute in choosing to lead the life she wishes to lead and not that perhaps expected of her.
