Episode 6,   Feb 17, 2017, 06:08 PM

This week we return to the age most often viewed as a time of innocence and simplicity, and reflect on memoirs written of childhood. Esther Freud tells Red Szell about the writing of ‘Hideous Kinky’ from the perspective of her 4 year old self, Poh Sim Plowright revisits one of her favourite books and the rites of passage at the heart of To Kill A Mockingbird and the RNIB Library team review Sue Perkin’s memoir, Spectacles.
