<div>My guest in this week’s <em>Book Club</em> is Francesca Simon. Best known for her <em>Horrid Henry</em> series of children’s books, Francesca has just published her first novel for grownups, a haunting reworking of a Welsh folk tale called <em>Salka: Lady of the Lake</em>. She tells me how she came to shift direction, what myths offer in terms of storytelling possibility – and why she never tired of her best-known creation.</div>
