Maryrose Wood on the Relationship Between Author and Narrator
in conversation with AudioFile's Jo Reed
We’re revisiting our conversation between host Jo Reed and children’s book author Maryrose Wood. Maryrose is the author of Bad Badger, a charming fable about friendship, as well as Alice’s Farm and The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place series that listeners can enjoy in six brilliant audiobooks. In this conversation, Maryrose shares her insights about the special relationships she has had with the narrators of her books: Katherine Kellgren for five of the six titles, and Fiona Hardingham, who picked up the reins for the last title, The Long-Lost Home. Maryrose talks about how she developed the relationship between author and narrator—twice—and about choosing narrators who could find “that beautiful sweet spot between performing the book in this wildly external way while also preserving the intimacy of the reader’s relationship with the book.”
