To celebrate the 15th anniversary of the founding of Barrington Stoke, we askked asked managing director Mairi Kidd to tell us [[Mairi Kidd Talks To Bookbag About The Founding Of Barrington Stoke|how it all began]].
This month's interviews include [[The Interview: Bookbag Talks To Philippa Gregory|Philippa Gregory]], who talked to Robert about [[Changeling by Philippa Gregory|Changeling]] and [[Stormbringers by Philippa Gregory|Stormbringers]]. He was blown away by both and Philippa was lovely.
