Okay, so the interview is now up on the radio channel's website. In Swedish, though of course those of you who don't speak Swedish can still listen to the fic excerpts and check the links ( Read more... )

One of the afterschool teachers asked me yesterday if I could do a storytime today. Sure, said I, and decided to tell the tots The Magic Flute since a) I'd just seen the Branagh movie, b) I already know it by heart (so getting it ready in a day wasn't too hard), c) it's a very fairy-tale kind of story, and d) I love introducing these kids to ( Read more... )
