Episode 111 - Black Hearts in Battlesea, by Joan Aiken

We’re continuing on in Joan Aiken’s alternate history, wolf-ridden England with Black Hearts in Battersea! If your spirits need a boost (and whose don’t), irresistible Cockney urchin Dido Twite is here to entrance and delight. We absolutely adored this book and wish it had come into our lives sooner. Puzzle over Grace’s mental picture of mince pies and join Madeleine’s affable league of helpful art students - join us!

Thanks to all the listeners who have requested the Wolves Chronicles, we’re obsessed with this series!
