BfK 77 November 1992

November 1, 1992/in /by Richard Hill

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.
