Jacqueline Winspear:
I would love to see Maisie in a PBS/BBC production. Have you been approached to do this? And many thanks for Maisie. I have read every book and although I have my favorites, I love the way Maisie and friends grow with the times.

Wynne, as you probably know, there are a lot more players in the game beyond the BBC, and they are making excellent historical dramas (one only has to look at The Crown which came from Netflix - it has set the standard very high). The books are currently under option by a production company, which is the usual way these things are done, and when any series is ready to be taken to the market, organizations such as the BBC are approached and might be interested. We'll just have to see - but when a series goes into production it has very little to do with the author of the books.

Hello Jacqueline, I am so thrilled to have this opportunity, thank you! My question is about Maisie: While she has some insecurities and makes some decisions fueled by those emotions, she seem to have no actual human vices (yet is still very complex/developed!). Is her character designed to reflect the morés of women in her class of British society at the time, or is her "self-actualization" a writing strategy?
