Sandi Toksvig tells us about her new novel Valentine Grey and a play she has written called Bully Boy.

The book looks at how the character of Valentine Grey, goes to South Africa disguised as a man to fight in the Boer War.

Sandi says it is a classic story of a woman constrained by Victorian society.
