Kate Temple on her first solo book for kids 'The Dangerous Business of Being Trilby Moffat'

A mystery illness is making people bake ancient cakes, speak dead languages and then fall asleep and never wake up. When Trilby Moffat's mother Arwen catches this strange sickness, Trilby must find her only other surviving relative, a 300-year-old aunt who lives in a secret antique shop on the edge of time. The Dangerous Business of Being Trilby Moffat is the story of how one ordinary girl finds herself on a deliciously fast-paced adventure, fleeing to an island where time doesn't exist, where cats are particularly rude and cake is always on the menu. Here she will take on the most treacherous job of all time. In this episode Gregory Dobbs is joined by young podcaster Grace Grenfell to really put the pressure on Kate Temple to reveal just how dangerous it is to be Trilby Moffat. Together we explore why words and cake are so important to Kate Temple, what exactly Benjamin the thylacine is doing in this story, how we might find our way to the Lost In Time Antiques store, and what Kate really knows about time.
