Oh my god, the Bible. It depends what you mean. Define odd?

Unusual, unexpected, quirky.

I think the kind of unexpected I really love is when you open books and the actual way of writing is different and interesting. Like reading Virginia Woolf for the first time or Lawrence Durrell for the first time. You read this unexpected use of sentences which I love, rather than the actual topic.

You're a renowned illustrator of books, tell us a little about that.

I wouldn't say renowned. I don't do that much of it.

I have illustrated two for Richard, [and] I did quite a lot for a vet called Bruce Fogal at one time. I draw animals, so I'm useful to my biologist husband because I can chuck out a few illustrations for slides for lectures, and things like that.
