Regular readers of the blog will know that Caroline Crampton’s
is a favourite podcast, and one I have been a guest on.
One of the regular features is the Green Penguin Bookclub
–Caroline is working through all the Penguin green-and-white crime books, *** in order of publication. This year she had the brilliant Idea of asking all the
contributors to this trope to talk about their first Green Penguin – then she
combined all these extra bits into a special epi which has come out now
I was a guest of the Book Club in February
2025,
so had naturally completely forgotten that I had done this – what a nice
surprise to find it!
And I broke the rules – I suggested to Caroline that I
could talk about my early interest in Puffins (the Penguin children’s imprint)
and she agreed. I am a proud founder member of something called The Puffin
Club, and I explain all about it in detail on the podcast…. Such great
memories.
Then there are the other choices to enjoy, from blogfriends
such as Sergio and Kate: varied stories, and how nice to think of us with such
different back stories converging on this one spot.
A lovely gentle epi to enjoy over Christmas – though Shedunnit
is always worth listening to.
*** in this post I discussed the phrase 'became a green-and-white Penguin'
