When news of the closure of Creation Records broke on November 26 1999, one person at least must have been grateful.

From Nobel Laureates Samuel Beckett and Harold Pinter to theatre greats Tom Stoppard and Alan Bennett to rising stars Polly Stenham and Florian Zeller, Faber Drama presents the very best theatre has to offer.

Fast forward to now and my other half picked me up a second hand copy and it’s drawn me in all over again, with the added bonus I can now jump onto Spotify and listen much more easily to the songs and band mentioned as I’m reading. The reputation of the humble magpie, which won Guardian Australia’s 2017 bird of the year poll, could at best be described as divisive.
