A Kestrel for a Knave Part Two: getting lost – The Curiously Specific Book Club
In Part Two of our attempt to use ‘A Kestrel for a Knave’ as our guide through the real world, we track down the school where a lot of the book’s action takes place. We talk warmly about Brian Glover, the man who steals the famous football scene in the movie ‘Kes’. We also find a fish and chip shop and the abandoned cinema Billy breaks into near the end of the book. But tracking down specifically where Billy might have lived proves to be a mighty challenge that sends both Lloyd and Tim slightly mad (in different ways).To listen to the podcast without ads, and to get immediate access to new episodes, search for us on Patreon!
