What an introduction. Welcome to new shows. What an introduction. What is | :04:13. | :04:30. | |
your new book about? It was inspired by the sinking of a ship in 1915, it | :04:31. | :04:39. | |
was rather like the Titanic and it was carrying passengers from New | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
York to Liverpool and it was sunk by a German U-boat. My story is of a | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
survivor from the Lusitania. Is it quite a sad story? Some questions | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
from children. What is your inspiration for the story? A medal | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
my wife had she was -- when she was growing up. It is a big medal which | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
the Germans produced celebrating the sinking of the ship which was | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
terrible because 1000 people died. It is a terrible medal because on | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
the back of it it has got people queueing up to buy tickets for the | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
ship and a skeleton serving them with the ticket to get on the ship. | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
It is full. You can stop looking at it. I discovered when I was older, I | :05:22. | :05:30. | |
don't write a story about this. Why have you decided to take World War I | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
as your inspiration? I was born in 1943, I don't remember the Second | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
World War but I remember the effects of war. I remember very sad people | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
who had lost relations and I remember the bombed buildings. And | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
therefore war interested me. And it appals me as well so I continue to | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
write about it, whether it is World War I or World War II. It has been | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
lovely speaking to you. We will speak to you later. Goodbye. | :06:02. | :06:03. |
