Cover Story
On the front of BfK this month is the cover of On Christmas Eve by Peter Collington - see his accompanying piece in this issue. The book was published by Heinemann (the paperback version is now available) and the animated film will be shown on TV at Christmas - all details are given at the foot of Peter Collington's delightful double-page spread. We thank Heinemann for their help in using this illustration.

This is a follow-on from Rags and Riches told alternately by Seb and Sam, offspring of a dizzy second-hand clothes dealer mother and an unreliable aristocratic father. Their varied, incident-filled lives take in an assortment of unusual characters - a battle-axe granny, a mad grandfather ith a decaying castle and their own school mates. Joan Lingard's skill is in making the whole thing sound not just lively but also quite plausible and in inducing the reader to want to keep turning the pages.
