Episode Synopsis

Andrew Mackie is an Australian film distributor and producer whose debut novel is based on one of the biggest events in Australian history: newly-crowned Queen Elizabeth's royal tour of Australia in 1954.

As a fan of the British Royal Family, the "The Tour" (released by Penguin) was utterly fascinating to me.

It's got everything you love in a period drama: scandal, intrigue and characters you love to hate (not the Queen, of course!). A thoroughly delightful and somewhat wicked read.

I had the great pleasure of speaking with Andrew on the podcast earlier this year.
