Margaret Drabble: The Red Queen
Margaret Drabble on an historical Korean fable

Novelist Margaret Drabble joins Jenni to talk about her latest book, The Red Queen.

200 years after being plucked from obscurity to marry the Crown Prince of Korea, the Red Queen's ghost decides to set the record straight about her extraordinary existence.
