Magical Creatures and Animal Companions with Lee Newbery

The world of children’s literature is brimming with creatures great and small...and magic. This week Charlie and Sam are joined by March's Waterstones Children's Book of the Month author of The Last Firefox, Lee Newbery, to chat all about the animal companions that bring their powers to enrich (or sometimes upset) the lives of children in books. From Narnia to Animorphs, we dissect what makes an animal magic, and what unique spins we can put to tales of firey fox tails, mythical beings, and even a whole new take on unicorns.
