JOHN GORDON

This is a fairly shameless plug for the splendid reissue of The Giant under the Snow by John Gordon (Orion £9.99). But when a reissued book (it was first published in 1968) is published with such care and attention - do look at the endpapers and the chapter head illustrations by Gary Blythe - it is worth shouting about. John was interviewed by Chris Stephenson in the very first issue of Carousel and there will be a further interview with him in the next issue. So go to your nearest bookshop and ask to see a copy - lasts longer than an Easter egg!
