Charlie Higson: Reading teen books is not 'dirty secret'

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

Young Bond writer Charlie Higson says reading books for teenagers is no longer a "dirty secret" for adults. Higson, who previously starred on The Fast Show, reinvented himself as a children's author, with his Young Bond books selling in their millions. He said Young Adult fiction was flourishing with adults and children, because they were "brilliant" without the "swearing and nastiness" of modern books. This clip is originally from Richard Bacon on Wednesday 27 August 2014.
