Books and Beyond: A summer of Steinbeck

Alison has been on a mission over the summer to re-read her favourite books by the classic American author John Steinbeck. 

In this episode, she’s joined by fellow Steinbeck fan, and high school teacher Daniel, and together they discuss the author’s enduring popularity, particularly amongst young readers. 

Tune in to our podcast and find out how books that are so old can seem so new.
