We've talked to [[The Interview: Bookbag Talks To Charlotte Frost|Charlotte Frost]] about the work that went into writing a [[Sir William Knighton: The Strange Career of a Regency Physician by Charlotte Frost|biography]] of Sir William Knighton and to [[The Interview: Bookbag Talks To Richard Byrne|Richard Byrne]] about his gorgeous picture book [[This Book Belongs To Aye-Aye by Richard Byrne]].

We were delighted when she agreed to tell us a little more about the background to the book.
