One day, back in the 1980s, His Dark Materials writer Philip Pullman woke up and couldn’t stop crying. It came like a bolt from the blue and lasted several months.

In this episode, Kelly Holmes joins the renowned author at home in his library to hear about this episode of depression that occured in Philip’s early twenties. He describes the three things that helped him to recover and reads Kelly an extract from one of his favourite books - a nearly 400-year old work of Robert Burton’s entitled The Anatomy of Melancholy.
