Moomintroll and a china rabbit with Laura Mauro at FantasyCon 2022

This episode was recorded live at FantasyCon 2022 so the sound is a little echoey

Laura is a games writer, Manga translator and the award-winning author of Sing Your Sadness Deep (2019) among other wonderful things. You can follow her on Twitter here, and find out more at LauraMauro.com

Laura’s choice: Moominland Midwinter by Tove Jansson

Ali’s choice: The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo

We mention Tove Jansson’s biography by Boel Westin

I really love Kate DiCamillo’s work, and John Coxon read Flora & Ulysses for the podcast back in November 2021. You can listen again here.

Laura remembers the Japanese cartoons of the Moomins. I love the German stop motion animations. I mention the Moomins on the Riviera film

Thanks as always to Steve Vapour Trails for production assistance and to Jack Sadler-Johnson for the use of his beautiful track Bliss. Thank you to the committee for giving me a programme slot, and to the audience for coming along and asking questions! See you at FantasyCon 2023!
