Christopher Nicholson Sm Christopher Nicholson - The Elephant Keeper

The interview with Christopher Nicholson was very well presented and most satisfying. The questions were carefully phrased and minimalised to enable Christopher to tell us all about the different aspects of writing this unusual novel, aided by the interviewer rather than hindered, which can easily be the case. Through the interview I also got a feel of the man himself. Andrew Batchelar, Hampshire, UK

 

Enjoyed the interview with Christopher Nicholson and listening to the serial episodes.
