Angela Macmillan on Open Book
Hear Angela Macmillan, the Editor of A Little, Aloud (published today!) - and also one of the editors of The Reader magazine - talking with Mariella Frostrup and Joanna Trollope on Radio 4's 'Open Book' this afternoon at 4pm about the pleasure and benefits of reading aloud (or if you can't wait, you can listen to the show's original broadcast from Sunday on iPlayer right now).
“Being read to is the beguiling beginning of learning to love reading – it opens the door to absolutely everything and anything we might want to do in life.”
Joanna Trollope
