How did our guests view historical fiction, which is very often the way, particularly in the case of Wilbur’s novels, that a lot of people come to learn about history?

Does it make them want to read fact books?
Does it make them want to maybe visit their local museum?
Does it make them want to go on holiday to Africa?

Find out in this Episode 2!

We look back on memorable moments from the first series and recall some of the fascinating facts and illuminating insights they elicited from their distinguished line up of special guests, including Egyptologist Joanne Fletcher, historian Saul David, writer of both fiction and nonfiction about the Zulu wars, Zambezi expert Marlyn Newitt, who sounds the alarm about the Victoria Falls drying up, Joost Fonteyn on the mysteries of the Great Zimbabwe, Civil Rights campaigner Adam Hochschild on the Abolition of Slavery and our remarkable adventurer, polar explorer Felicity Aston.
