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.

Send to friendMystery Tour - and other stories of detection
A lively concept - detective stories, or, more correctly, stories in which there's a problem to be solved, each by well-established authors. This is a consistently strong selection, especially appropriate for KS3 pupils. The title story is written by Jan Mark and exhibits her lo$ve of catastrophic adults rescued by resourceful children. Helen Cresswell's 'Boney Murphy Goes Walkabout' is one of the funniest stories I've ever read, detailing the attempts to lose a skeleton bought as a Christmas present - yes, you did read that correctly! A varied, idiosyncratic and undeniably entertaining collection. Wonderful stuff!
