Mathew ends his great review of this exhibition with a puzzle contained within the Hampden Portrait of Elizabeth I. What’s with that foot poking out at the bottom of the wall tapestry behind her? Also, is that an eye looking out from the foliage? Maybe there’s a solution to the mystery… 1/15👇

IMPORTANT. An AI account is sending out phishing emails from “me”, inviting authors to participate in Backlisted episodes. 1. These aren’t from me. 2. We are on hiatus, so I am not asking anyone to be on the podcast. 3. If you receive one of these fake invitations, please inform me ASAP. >
Reading about writers reading: this is what we're here for. Amanda Craig on the wonderful Writer's Bookshelf - from love of 1960s Puffin Books to thoughts on the Booker prize!
