Three writers read their own stories in front of an audience at the Bath Festival of Literature. 3. Salley Vickers reads The Deal. 

Salley Vickers is a novelist whose works include the word-of-mouth bestseller Miss Garnet's Angel, Mr. Golightly's Holiday, The Other Side of You and Where Three Roads Meet. 

Alice is a very determined six year old. She doesn't just want a cat - she wants a marmalade girl cat. The fact of her father's allergy won't deter her in her quest. Not a natural vegetable lover, she forms an unlikely alliance with Mr Job from the allotments. From him she picks up not only a completely new lexicon of choice phrases to be stored up for future use, but also one or two lessons in guile and cunning. Now if only she can get her hands on a bottle of beer.

Producer: Sarah Langan.
