An Ode to Storytelling: Translating The Book of Pearl - a podcast by Free Word

On 13 June 2016, Walker Books presented the imaginative adventure story 'The Book of Pearl' at Free Word Centre.

We welcomed its internationally acclaimed author, Timothée de Fombelle, who was in conversation with his translators Sarah Ardizzone and Sam Gordon to discuss his journey in creating the story, and theirs in bringing it to life in English. This event was chaired by Joy Court.

Wanderlust: Great Literature from Around the World is a monthly event series at Free Word.
