Let Them Eat Books Episode 63: Licorice
The Bertie Bassetts of the podcast world, licoricious as always, Colin and Claire talk all sorts about the sweeter than sweet root Licorice and its story and literary connections, taking us to Ancient Egypt, Scandinavia and even as far afield as Pontefract in Yorkshire. They discuss texts by Monique Quintana, Ernest Hemingway and Raymond Antrobus, with a mention of Sir John Betjemen.
