In March I wrote a piece for The Shadow Booth about Susan Cooper’s great young adult novel The Dark is Rising, with reference to the extraordinary cover of the edition I had as a kid (see above), which scared me so much that at the time I couldn’t read the book.

I was delighted when the artist, Michael Heslop, contacted me, and even happier when he agreed to an interview, which you can read by clicking this link to The Shadow Booth.
