Bootleg is a musical in Japan! (Covid-19 permitting) And Christmas is but a few months away – well, almost – and the BBC should be re-showing The Greatest Store in the Word, a perennial family Christmas favourite, with Dervla Kirwan, Peter Capaldi (before he was Dr Who) and the ebullient Brian Blessed.
The Great Blue Yonder – which has sold all around the world – is being re-published by Macmillan in paperback this July with a new cover design and a new introduction. The cover design is from the recently re-published Chinese edition. After J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter, The Great Blue Yonder remains one of the most popular books by a British writer in China. There have been over 30 editions published.
The Cloud Hunters and Sky Run are also being republished this year – but that’s in Korea! (South not North.)
