Salon du Livre: Paris’s annual book fair puts Brazil front and centre

2015-03-20 3

With some 200,000 visitors expected, France’s Salon du Livre is a key industry event and a rare glimpse inside the publishing sector. Literary ambassadors for guest country Brazil, Ana Maria Machado and Fernanda Torres, join us to talk about freedom of expression and the geographical roots of their books.


We also touch on the tradition of myth-making in children’s literature, as French publisher l’Ecole des Loisirs celebrates 50 years as a multi-generational favourite.
