About this episode
Sometimes fantasy stories define how we live our lives. Take Christmas. Dickens has been hugely responsible for our expectations of the season, not to mention the Christmas movie industry. Julia Golding takes a deep dive into the must-read fantasy ghost story, A Christmas Carol, and how Dickens designed and performed the story. She unpicks what makes it work. Have a listen and see if you agree. And finally, where do you think is the best place to be a miser in fantasy?
