]]> Those famous books everyone's supposed to have read? Don't worry, you're not the only dumdum pretending you actually have. We're exposing our sizeable literary knowledge gaps this week in our first instalment of "Classic Blurb" episodes. Hear us take on the celebrated classic Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë. None of us have read it, but we're making up for it in style by creating our own, probably fairly similar, story. It's all about a candy empire, right?
