Episode 28: Gobblefunk and Glyphs - creating words in Children's Fantasy
This week the dragons are delighted to welcome back special guest, James Nicol, who they managed to snatch from his whirlwind tour of Britain after the highly successful release of his book - The Apprentice Witch. James shares his expertise on creating words and terms for children's fantasy fiction. On the slab this week, we also have David Eddings, Harry Potter, Roald Dahl and (strangely enough) Shakespeare. It's all about words this week and words are power. Join us for some linguistic magic.
