Foibles Episode 24: The Silver Prose of Mary Mapes Dodge

Thanks for listening to the long saga of visionary film producer Val Lewton! This episode is a one-off, and the author only wrote two novels.

She was instrumental in encouraging Rudyard Kipling to write The Jungle Book. She also published books of sketches and poems.

Special thanks to David Plell and Powerbleeder for the theme song "Future Mind"!
