Video Premier: A Book Chat with Molly Idle About Pearl
A new Molly Idle book is naturally a cause for some celebration. All the better if it happens to involve something awesome. Something like . . . mermaids. When Ms. Idle gets her hands on a mythical creature, however, you simply want to see more of them. Unicorns! Griffins (with her love of birds she’d do a killer griffin, you know it)! Manticores!
Today we’re featuring one of those book chats Little, Brown sometimes does with its authors. Ms. Victoria Stapleton talks to Molly about the book and what it’s all about.
Enjoy!
