We hear the bizarre and wonderful story of the original Madame Tussaud from Edward Carey, who’s written an historical novel about her called Little.

It’s National Libraries week so all week on the show we shall be celebrating libraries with archive clips from ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Scotland interviews with celebrities who love libraries. Children’s author AH Proctor is in the studio to talk about leading the campaign for National Libraries week and our first archive clip comes from two Scottish authors who didn’t grow up with the luxury of books at home. Jenny Colgan and Val McDermid both saw their local libraries as something of a lifeline when they were young.
