What happens when centuries of British history meet thousands of Lego bricks?



In this special interview, I’m joined by author Andrew Redfern, the creator of "Minifigure Monarchs: A History of Great Brits in Little Bricks" — an exciting new book that tells the story of British monarchs through brilliant Lego creations.



We chat about Andy’s love of history, how this creative project came about, what it’s like recreating iconic historic scenes in Lego, and of course, his favourite monarchs and builds! From the Anglo-Saxons to the Windsors, this is history like you’ve never seen it before — colourful, creative, and completely brick-tastic.
