Prepare the mulled wine and mince pies and hold onto your sleighs! - it's the epic Episode 6 of Double Booked Podcast, a magical Christmas episode of our children's book podcast where everything is possible thanks to the imaginations of co-hosts, best-selling authors Ho-Ho-Ho-Eoin Colfer and Andrew ''St. Nick" Donkin.
In this bumper edition of the podcast, our dynamic duo delve into an underrated children's classic 'The Mouse and His Child' by Russell Hoban in Me, Myshelf and I, and discover the secret contents of an unwrapped present that lay unloved for 50 years in Weird Science. In a very special meeting of minds, multi-award winning illustrator PJ Lynch invites Eoin and Andrew into his awesome world of art, which has adorned best-selling titles across the globe including his new release 'Twas the Night Before Christmas' by Clement Clarke Moore.
In 'It was Rubbish, But I Loved It' , Christmas presents that did not end up being all they appeared to be is a hot topic of discussion and if that's not enough - get ready for the final writing problem of the year to be solved by Agony Eoin.
In this final festive episode of the season, Eoin and Andrew are also joined throughout the show by our special guests from Season 1 of Double Booked - Jonathan Stroud, Jenny Valentine, Cressida Cowell, M.G Leonard and PJ Lynch. Five brilliant children’s authors offering their own personal choices for Christmas Book Gifting and telling us what’s special about the stories they’ve chosen.

Welcome back for Episode 5 of Double Booked Podcast, the weird and wonderful children's book podcast where anything is possible thanks to the haplessly energetic minds of co-hosts, international best-selling authors, Eoin Colfer and Andrew Donkin.
Will this month's episode get off to a fairy tale start? It will if 'Once Upon An Eoin' has anything to do with it - he's chosen Philip Pullman's masterful 'Grimm Tales' as his pick for 'Me, Myshelf and I’.
Our Weird Science feature takes a look at how flying birds might see the world, before the boys are joined by their special guest, Carnegie long listed author M.G.Leonard. M.G. takes them on a voyage through her best-selling children’s books about talking beetles and crime-solving bird watchers and explains all about how she recently ended up on a hydrogen powered train being ambushed by the British PM, Boris Johnson.
It Was Rubbish But I Loved It uncovers some forgotten ice lolly treats of the past including the deadly Dalek Death Ray, (mint and chocolate flavour since you asked) before we bow out with the pick of our digital mail bag in Agony Eoin.
All this and much more (even Seamus gets to speak!) on the latest episode of #DoubleBookedPodcast!
