Bookmark welcomes Professor Martin Salisbury, Leader of the acclaimed MA in Children’s Book Illustration at Anglia Ruskin University. Over the years many award-winning illustrators have graduated from the course and Martin reveals the secrets of what makes a good picture book, how artists develop their own style and why Babar the Elephant was so controversial when it was published. We also hear from Menna Van Praag chatting about her new magical realist novel, The Witches of Cambridge. And Paul Cartledge, author of Democracy: A Life on how the idea of people power has changed over the centuries and why he’s pessimistic about the future of democracy itself.
