Can you wake up a frozen mammoth by shocking it with lightning?

Storybooks can impact the imagination of a child in so many ways. In this episode, we meet Professor Eline Lorenzen to try and get to the bottom of whether David Walliam’s award-winning children’s novel The Ice Monster might be even the teensiest bit possible. Spoiler alert 🚨 we’re unlikely to be meeting any living woolly mammoths in the near future!
