H G Parry: novelist on The Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep

From Saturday Morning, 9:45 am on 8 February 2020

Fantasy writer H.G (Hannah) Parry's novel The Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep imagines what might happen if well-known literary characters broke free from the books they inhabit and invaded everyday life.

Her PhD was in children’s fantasy; she's a huge fan of C.S. Lewis, Lewis Carroll, Tolkien and, somewhat more surprisingly, Paddington Bear.

The Kapiti-based author has just finished her second novel and is about to start work on a third.
