Classic Blurb - Jane Eyre

The Blurb

03/03/21 • 31 min

Those famous books everyone's supposed to have read? Don't worry, you're not the only dumdum pretending you actually have. We're exposing our sizeable literary knowledge gaps in this weeks "Classic Blurb" instalment. We take on the celebrated classic Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë, thanks to Mr Luke Brown for the recommendation. None of us have read it, but we're making up for it in style by creating our own, probably fairly similar, story. It's all about a cigarette empire, right?

The Thief, His Wife And The Canoe

The Blurb

04/27/22 • 26 min

This week's blurb comes from a book based on a true story. Our story is very loosely based on that blurb. So if you think you already know all about John Darwin and his wife.. and the canoe, you haven't heard our version of events. And once you've heard it, you can't unhear it. Things get dark, but not before they get incredibly bright! The lines between fact and fiction become very blurry indeed in this week's episode based on the book The Thief, His Wife And The Canoe by David Leigh and Tony Hutchinson.
