Children's author Francesca Simon is interviewed by Kirsty Young for Desert Island Discs.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b016w0n1
Kirsty Young's castaway is the children's author Francesca Simon.
Educated at Yale and Oxford she initially thought she'd pursue an academic life - but within weeks of her son's birth, found that ideas for children's stories started flowing. She's now written twenty books featuring her creation Horrid Henry and they sell in their millions.
She sees Horrid Henry as sitting within the long tradition of anarchic characters in children's literature. She says: "Everyone responds to Henry because I think everyone feels - however conventional they seem on the outside - that they are rebellious and unconventional, and Henry really taps into that."
Producer: Leanne Buckle.

Desert Island Discs Revisited with Kirsty Young explores the choices of the creator of Inspector Rebus, in the last of a series featuring crime writers.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/features/desert-island-discs/castaway/ae9cd2b1#p0093vcc
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0093vcc
Sue Lawley's castaway this week is the writer Ian Rankin. Ian Rankin is an award-winning writer of crime fiction and the creator of the Scottish detective John Rebus who has featured in 17 novels to date.
Born in Fife, Rankin came from a working-class background in a coal-mining town where he says he spent most of his childhood trying to "look like he fitted in". In his bedroom he would live out a fantasy life, writing poems, stories and creating strip-cartoons. He admits there are many parallels between himself and Rebus - they lived at the same Edinburgh address, both are fond of a drink and now they even share the same taste in music, though unlike Rebus, Rankin has never smoked. However all that is about to change; Rebus has reached the age of retirement in the police force and Rankin's next novel will be the last in the series.

BBC Radio 3
Michael Berkeley's guest is sitar player and composer Anoushka Shankar.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b016vl4x
Michael Berkeley's guest today is the sitar player and composer Anoushka Shankar, one of the stars of world music today. She studied exclusively with her father, the great Indian sitar player Ravi Shankar, made her debut at age 13 in New Delhi, and released her first solo recording in 1998. In 2001 her third album, Live at Carnegie Hall, was nominated for a Grammy award. In 2002 she appeared at the Royal Albert Hall in a tribute concert to the late George Harrison, conducting a new piece by her father which featured Eric Clapton on solo guitar.
Until 2005 she was primarily a solo performer of Indian classical music, but in that year she branched out with her fourth album, Rise, a fusion of East and West employing both acoustic and electric instrumentation, on which she appeared as composer, arranger and producer. It won her another Grammy nomination. She toured extensively in the wake of the new album, forming the Anoushka Shankar Project to present her new non-classical ensemble works to a live audience, and in 2007 released another album, Breathing Under Water, in collaboration with the Indian-American producer Karsh Kale It features guest appearances by her father and her half-sister, Norah Jones. She now applies her expertise as a fine Indian classical musician to working with top-quality musicians from a range of traditions to create innovative music that appeals to a wide audience. She has just released her next album, Traveller.
Her eclectic choices for Private Passions include piano pieces by Debussy and Erik Satie; the Andantino from Faure's Piano Trio, Op.120; a piece by Ali Farka Toure and Toumani Diabate, a collaboration which she particularly admires; a raga played by her father; a flamenco piece, and Nick Cave's song 'Into My Arms'.

Producer Note
Change is the ever-present and familiar thread which runs through and entwines all our lives. In this special edition of edition of Words & Music recorded live at The Sage Gateshead, with readers Jonathan Keeble and Kim Gerard, the transformations range from mundane and grisly, to mythical and mycological.
Mary Shelley’s Victor Frankenstein and Carl Hiaasen’s Rudy Graveline are two doctors involved in altering the human body. But whereas Frankenstein is motivated by the quest to create life, Graveline is an unscrupulous and unqualified plastic surgeon whose final attempt at liposuction goes horribly wrong.
In contrast, Pygmalion’s experiment to make the inanimate live (he’s carved his ideal woman from ivory) is wholly successful. He has the advantage of divine intervention when Venus answers his fervent prayers in Ted Hughes’s vibrant translation of Ovid.
Gregor Samsa wakes up to find himself a giant beetle in Franz Kafka’s celebrated story. The metamorphosis precipitates changes in his family, who are initially sympathetic but later become aggressively hostile.
The following three texts trace the effects of drugs on mind and body. Laudanum temporarily transforms Baudelaire’s squalid room into a sensual paradise before wretched reality returns. Next, rejuvenating drugs are taken by two old women. In ‘Awakenings’ the decades roll away for Oliver Sacks’s sleeping-sickness patient Miss R: after taking L-DOPA her past becomes her present as she sings lewd songs from her party-going youth. But George has even more spectacular results when his repulsive grandma takes his homemade pharmaceutical concoction (in Roald Dahl’s ‘George’s Marvellous Medicine’) which sends her literally through the roof.
Sylvia Plath’s ‘Mushrooms’ implacably change their surroundings, while Gerard Manley Hopkins and Alan Bennett mourn the impact of man on familiar and well-loved environments. Mechanical and technological change has both challenged and enriched mankind down the ages. Two hundred years ago it spawned the Luddite movement, when textile workers smashed mechanical looms in a doomed attempt to safeguard their livelihoods. ‘General Ludd’s Triumph’ is a rousing call to action, full of revolutionary rhetoric. The tension between the evils and benefits of technology is the subject of Rilke’s ‘The Machine’ from the 1920s; in the first decade of this century it struck a chord with Don Paterson who made this reworking of the original. New technology in the form of the internet takes Andrew Crumey’s Mr Mee down an unexpected path.
Simon Gray reflects on ageing with self-deprecating splenetic glee and, finally, a change in relationships: the bitter humour of Dorothy Nimmo’s ‘Ill-Wishing Him’ is the other side of the coin of the all-changing love of John Donne’s ‘The Good-Morrow’
Music is provided by soprano Stephanie Corley, pianist Kate Thompson and players from Northern Sinfonia. As well as ‘General Ludd’s Triumph’, Stephanie Corley sings a love song by Richard Strauss to reflect the end result of Pygmalion’s carving and also takes the role of Miss R, singing a lewd song from the 1920s, ‘Big Boy!’
Northern Sinfonia and Kate Thompson play chamber music including the wistful Adagio mesto from the Brahms Horn Trio to herald Gerard Manley Hopkins’s sadness at the destruction of some well-loved trees. The finale of Poulenc’s Sextet for piano and wind begins perkily with Mr Mee’s web surfing but leads to Simon Gray’s honest reflection on old age more with its strangely peaceful ending. The relentless ticking of the clock from a Shostakovich quartet brings the unwelcome return of time and reality to Baudelaire.
On their own, the wind players get a chance to shine in two virtuosic movements from Ligeti’s Six Bagatelles, the first reflecting Roald Dahl’s anarchic humour; the second, the mysterious atmosphere of Sylvia Plath’s ‘Mushrooms’. Saint-Saëns’s ‘Tortoises’ dance a can-can after Simon Gray’s geriatric grumbles and the blood of Rudy Graveline’s unfortunate patient spurts to the rhythm of Bernard Herrmann’s score from ‘Psycho’.
Our journey of change begins and ends with Schoenberg’s ‘Verklärte Nacht’ – Transfigured Night – which begins with dark foreboding before Dr Frankenstein gets to work and ends in ecstatic radiance after John Donne’s love poem ‘The Good-Morrow’. We hope you enjoy it!
