Woman's Hour - 10/06/2009

With Jenni Murray. Jenni Murray talks to Michael Rosen's successor as the new Children's Laureate, Anthony Browne. The first illustrator to hold the post since Quentin Blake, Browne's work regularly features lonely and sensitive child protagonists of both the human and ape variety. He joins Jenni to talk about what drives his work and where that fascination with the gorilla originates. Justine Hardy's new book, 'In the Valley of Mist', graphically tells the story of Kashmir's recent bloody history through the voices of people she has met during her visits there over the last two decades. She talks to Jenni about the region's complicated political history and describes what it's like for ordinary people to survive years of raids, street fighting, religious persecution and military oppression. Katie Price has been in the headlines for getting into trouble for going topless in the Maldives and a group of British men dressed as nuns in Greece have had to spend a night in the cells. Woman's Hour asks whether we think enough about appropriate dress on holiday. Also featuring an exhibition about the Victorian maid who fell in love with a Barrister.
