We're back for our first episode of the summer! In this one, we take a trip to post-Rome Britain to explore our fascination with a time period that is more myth than history. Going full history nerd, we take a look at three books set in Britain after the withdrawal of Roman imperial powers: Dark Earth by Rebecca Stott, Here Lies Arthur by Philip Reeve, and Sistersong by Lucy Holland. We discuss the possible origin of the King Arthur myth, queer medieval narratives, and the cultural diversity of Britain at this time–as well as wizards, warlords, and murder ballads.    Other Media Mentioned: Tess of the Road by Rachel Hartman The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Little Blue Encyclopedia for Vivian by Hazel Jane Plante The Thousand Eyes by A.K. Larkwood Bernard Cornwell's books Spear by Nicola Griffith Perceval by Chretien de Troyes The Two Sisters by Steeleye Span On the Ruin and Conquest of Britain by Gildas History of the Kings of Britain by Geoffrey of Monmouth   Content Warnings: Discussions of war, death, and body horror   Also 1) apologies for the distant car horn in a few moments and 2) our discussion of Here Lies Arthur involves talking about some characters who present as different genders over the course of the story and so has some varying pronoun usage.

In this week's mammoth bonus episode, we are joined by the always amazing and fab Elaina Ryan (CEO of Children's Books Ireland) to help us pick and preview 23 Children's & Young Adult titles for the first 6 months of the year, a task which kept us on our toes.

Philip Reeve's 2001 YA novel Mortal Engines, which was later adapted to a film in 2018. The novel has some wonderful ideas such as nonrenewable resources and the dangers of patriotism. However it falls short of delivering a satisfying reading experience, choosing to structure moments as if it were a film being shown on a screen instead of an omnipotent third person narrative. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/bookfaire/message

Mortal Engines is a new sci-fi fantasy film co-written and produced by Peter Jackson, based on the first in a series of young adult steampunk novels by Philip Reeve. In a post-apocalyptic future, mobile cities on huge caterpillar tracks roam the landscape, consuming smaller towns for their resources. Starring Hera Hilmar as Hester Shaw, the film is the directorial debut of long-time Jackson collaborator Christian Rivers. Katie Popperwell reviews.In a year when housing has risen up the political agenda, Richard Gregory, artistic director of Quarantine theatre company, and performance artist Grace Surman discuss Tenancy, part of a Manchester-led international project which explores the changing nature of cities by artists taking over a residential home for a year.The work of the Chinese photographer Ren Hang found admirers worldwide and was championed by Ai Weiwei, though the Chinese authorities were less enamoured. Almost two years after his death at the age of 29 and with the first show of his work in the UK premiering at Open Eye Gallery in Liverpool, Laura Robertson, critical writer-in-residence at the gallery discusses Ren Hang's significance. When Martin Jenkinson was made redundant from the Sheffield steel industry in 1979, it was the start of a four decade-long career as a professional photographer whose first subject was his adopted city. His pictures of the 1984 – 85 miners' strike were widely published in the national press. Years later they would catch the eye of Turner-prizewinning artist Jeremy Deller who worked with Jenkinson on his recreation of The Battle of Orgreave. Art critic Orla Foster reviews the new retrospective of Jenkinson's photographs at Weston Park Museum in Sheffield.Presenter: Samira Ahmed Producer: Ekene Akalawu

Early on in Mortal Engines, the forthcoming movie based on Philip Reeve's book, a small Bavarian population gets consumed by the moving metropolis of "London." (The movie, like the book, is set in a future where roving "predator cities" ingest smaller towns for their resources.) As its citizens are forced to resettle in their new home, voices on loudspeakers tell them where to go and what to do.
