Episode 33 – Prize

The Cat gets cosy in the cubby house with special guest, author of All The Murmuring Bones , The Path of Thorns , Castle Full of Blackbirds , and more – so much more! – Angela Slatter . While Joseph reads another bogus biography and Aaron holds in a sneeze, Kaaron is delighted by a biscuit tin. Angela revisits the traumatising books of childhood. Solipsism is discussed, as is Nabokov's dream Russia, and the USA of his imagination. Places of the imagination with no real-world existence. The idealisation of a place that becomes more real than the place itself. A toothless man is the telling detail. Not to mention, all the reasons why children should – nay, must! – be traumatised with dark tales. Aaron and Angela resurrect the ghost of Myrtle. Joseph makes a misguided commitment. Kaaron loses a ham bone. Note: The story Joseph is thinking of is in fact The Happy Prince , which is a fairy tale written by Oscar Wilde – not Hans Christian Andersen at all. Grimaces and grimoires referenced in this episode include: Lila Azam Zanganeh's The Enchanter Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita Angela Slatter's Flight Struwwelpeter Encarta '95 Check out the episode page for more pics and bits.
