Alice Thomas Ellis11 March 2005
A look back at the life of prolific novelist

The novelist Alice Thomas Ellis has died at the age of 72. A mother of seven children, she was a prolific writer producing 21 books during her lifetime - among them, The 27th Kingdom, shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 1982. Others may also remember her for her pithy Home Life columns in The Spectator.

Jill Foulston of Virago Press who edited her final book Fish, Flesh and Good Red Herrings joins us now.
