My book group has one rule: no books for adults. We read young adult fiction only.
We have reached the point where ignorance and neglect are the best we can hope for in a ruler.
I've stayed in houses that were in the country, and in England, but I'm still not sure that I've stayed in an English country house.
I feel very conscious of my influences. T.H. White is very important for me.
My ultimate goal is to drive people back to the books, when I think of an adaptation.
There is really no end to life's little humiliations.
