Jeanette Winterson


 
In her unique style, Jeanette Winterson cracked open the legendary tale of Shahrazad in One Thousand and One Nights to reveal timeless questions: Who should we trust? What makes us happy? Is love the most important thing in the world?

Jenny Eclair


 
Jenny Eclair took a riotous trip down memory lane — from drama school, punk poetry, anorexia, bedsit misery and waitressing, to being the first woman to win the Perrier Award, becoming a mother, author, 'grumpy old woman', podcaster and nana. With Siân Pattenden.
