Great Lives: Diana Barnato Walker
I was honoured to be asked to do Great Lives on BBC Radio 4. I’ve been a massive fan of Diana Barnato Walker ever since I started research for Billie Swift Takes Flight. Her life was uber privileged, violent, chaotic, tragic and super heroic. She really is like a Indiana Jones, James Bond mashed up with a slice of Paddington Bear.
I adore her and relished the chance to talk about her on the programme. Listen Right NOW by clicking this link: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001t9lj
