As a long time fan of the adult novels of Richmal Crompton, I was delighted to hear that Bello, the digital print arm of Pan Macmillan, is reissuing some of these titles. I have about twenty of this author’s books on my shelf and they have been the result of internet searches, scrabbling around in second hand bookshops and hard bargaining when some of the titles have been too expensive.

I first came across Richmal’s adult novels when Persephone published Family Roundabout, the story of two families and their respective matriarchs and their relationships with their children. It was an absorbing story, one to be read straight through and then, of course, I was off on a hunt for more Crompton adult novels. They were all out of print and quite difficult to track down, so Bello is doing a great service with these reprints. Among the titles being reissued are Chedsy Place, Narcissa, Merlin Bay, Caroline, The Holiday, Steffan Green, Portrait of a Family, and Journeying Wave.
