* '''BB: Which three books should every child read?'''
SH: This is such a difficult question. Marcia Williams' [[God and His Creations by Marcia Williams|books about Bible stories]] and [[Greek Myths by Marcia Williams|Greek myths]] for young children. They're a perfect introduction to the great European canon for children. [[Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame]]. The wonderful anthropomorphic animals have never been done so well. ''Clever Bill'' by William Nicholson.
* '''BB: What are you reading at the moment?'''
SH: [[''Fludd '' by Hilary Mantel]]. She's got a great style and range. It's a very funny and surprising book.
* '''BB: Who was your favourite teacher at school and why?'''
