Taking another break from revisiting the books that he has been given by guests on the podcast, Charles Adrian revisits instead what he said in the previous episode about Scottish Country Dancing and talks about three books that he has very much enjoyed.
More information and a transcript of this episode is at http://www.pageonepodcast.com/
Correction 1: This episode was recorded on the 15th December, 2020, and not the 14th December as Charles Adrian says.
Correction 2: Charles Adrian mistakenly pronounces Ivanhoe as Ivinghoe. The first is a novel by Sir Walter Scott; the second is a village in Buckinghamshire.
Correction 3: The novelist Charles Adrian refers to as JY Yang in this episode has been called Neon Yang since September 2020. You can read the announcement on their Twitter here: https://twitter.com/itsneonyang/status/1300790160301461507
