We’ve enjoyed our authors’ appearances on BBC Radio 4 so much over the last few days that we thought we’d share them with you in this handy round-up. The topics covered are varied and each fascinating in their own right, from Nijinsky, the greatest dancer of the 20th century, to lost works of art and literature, to women in the workplace, to a Glaswegian love story. Plenty to keep you entertained for a good while!

Rick Gekoski, author of Lost, Stolen or Shredded discussed missing works of art and literature on BBC Radio 4′s Start the Week. Listen again here.

Lucy Moore talked to John Wilson on Front Row about the high-octane and eventually tragic life of Nijinsky, arguably the greatest dancer of the 20th century. Listen again here.

Alison Wolf was on Woman’s Hour discussing women with The XX Factor – that is, the top elite of professional females – and their impact on society. Listen again here.

And Tindal Street Press author Ian Pattison was on Loose Ends talking about his new book, Unhappy-Go-Lucky. Listen again here.
