Katherine Rundell: The Waterstones Interview

Former Waterstones Children’s Book Prize-winner Katherine Rundell has turned to fantasy to create her latest fictional world, the Archipelago, a cluster of magical islands where humans live alongside the creatures of myth, but the magic is under threat. We sat down to speak about a childhood of adventure, standing on the shoulders of giants, and what readers can expect from this exciting new trilogy.

Katherine once said wit & paradox can only get you so far ( there's only so many words you can employ and express ). You use words in an indirect way .Also a touch of Socrates Irony in The Impossible various characterizations, so yeah . I agree.

A bit sad to see she can actually talk a lot of gibberish.

Sounds a bit middle/upper class. Pass.
