SF Said, the author of Phoenix and Varjak Paw, appeared on Radio 4’s Four Thought on Wednesday 21st May, to give an inspiring talk to a live audience about the importance of children’s literature. SF spoke passionately about his belief in ‘the power of fiction [to] help to bridge the divide when people identify themselves as "Us" and reject everyone else as "Them".’

Four Thought is a series of thought-provoking talks and discussion, in which speakers air their thinking, in front of a live audience, on the trends, ideas, interests and passions that affect culture and society.

The podcast of his Four Thought episode is now available here!
