'Pen and Ink'

Available for over a year

To get the world’s rarest autographs, America’s top autograph hunters go to extraordinary lengths to make friends in high places. We hear about the ways spies have used invisible ink over the years. The British cartoonist Ralph Steadman tells us about his fascination for US politics and the American cartoonist Box Brown gives us some tips on how to draw a giant. Also in this edition, we try to find new images to represent Africa and Chilean-born author, Marjorie Agosin, tells us about her first days in the US.
