The Wolves of Willoughby Chase is 50!

Joan Aiken's classic children's novel is celebrating 50 years in print since it was first hailed as "One Genuine Small Masterpiece" by Time Magazine. Brand new editions are coming out in the UK and the USA along with the many translations still in print around the world. A special event is being held in New York to celebrate - see events listing below - and Lizza is appearing at The Cheltenham Literary Festival to read and talk about growing up with Joan Aiken and the background to the writing of this much loved book.

Look out for a new Random House Listening Library Audio of the book read by Lizza coming out in October.

Chris Though I can't get to either event, I wish you luck, especially with the Cheltenham Festival appearance. Is it also planned to republish the series with new covers? And is there anything I can do to help get the word around?
