From Benjamin Britten to Billy Joel.

Author and screenwriter, Anthony Horowitz OBE shares his castaway choices with Kirsty Young.

The creator of the popular teenage spy, Alex Rider, Anthony's first novel was published when he was 23. He's also penned a slew of TV crime shows including Murder Most Horrid, Midsomer Murders and Foyle's Law.

The writer doesn't consider his work great, or even important - but he does like to think it agreeable and surprising.

First broadcast on 91热爆 Radio 4 in December 2006.
