About this listen
In this episode Alice Loxton joins Charlie Higson to talk about her new book, ‘Eleanor’.
In 1290, England mourned the death of a queen, Eleanor of Castile, beloved wife of King Edward I, the warrior king.
Her body was carried on a 200-mile journey from Lincoln to London, a solemn procession that would become immortalized in stone.
To mark the places where it laid, a heartbroken Edward commissioned twelve magnificent Eleanor Crosses.
More than seven centuries later, Alice Loxton set herself an epic challenge: following in history’s footsteps by walking the entire 200-mile funeral route on the corresponding dates and in this edition of Willy Willy Harry Stee, Charlie Higson chats with Alice about the journey and the writing of the book itself.
