Classic children’s ghost story, long in demand as a secondhand book, will receive its first reprint for more than 30 years thanks to the star
Actor – and a dogged book editor
A forgotten children’s classic is coming back into print after more than 30 years, on the back of Mark Gatiss’s new version of the 1972 movie The Amazing Mr Blunden, which comes to TV this
Christmas.
Ahead of the festive production directed by and starring Gatiss, who appears alongside Tamsin Greig and Simon Callow, Virago Books is republishing the original 1969 novel by Antonia Barber, which was last in print in the
UK in 1988.
