Allison Rushby talks Mog's Christmas, KidLit Classics S2 Episode 19



Special Christmas Episode! About this episode’s KidLit Classic:

Judith Kerr's Mog picture books, first released in the 1970s, and continuing well into the 2000s, have become staple picture book classics and the titular, permanently befuddled character Mog has been named as one of the most influential cats of her generation.


In this Christmas special of Kidlit Classics, children's author Allison Rushby discusses why these cosy, warm-hearted, relatable and very funny books stand the test of time, memories of Mog, and why Mog is so lovable. We also discuss classic Christmas books and Allison's own Christmas book, The Wish Sisters, plus her 20+ year career through a variety of genres, categories and age groups.
