“In her first novel for young people, Michelle Magorian has created a vivid cast for an English story with a universal appeal. The writing style has a compelling natural flow, and a quiet humor permeates the story and provides a contrast for some episodes of high drama.” Chair, IRA Children’s Book Award Committee.

BAFTA Award – GOODNIGHT MISTER THAW? It’s official; John Thaw was voted the people’s choice after picking up the Lew Grade audience award for most popular programme, voted for by RT readers. Thaw was delighted as he accepted the award for Goodnight Mister Tom from Michael Grade, and made sure his 12-year-old co-star Nick Robinson (right, with Thaw and Charlie Dimmock), took most of the limelight, calling him, ” my leading man”. Thaw, who missed out on celebrating with wife Sheila Hancock, laid low with a cold, said: ” I never dreamt this role as a cantankerous widower would make such an impact. I haven’t had so many people coming up to congratulate me since the first Inspector Morse went out.”
