New!
Based on a true story
Vaughan, Sarah, 1972-2026
Book
Generations of children have grown up with Dame Eleanor Kingman's stories. Her status as the country's best-loved storyteller is unrivalled. But now it is under attack. Because while her fans regard her as a national treasure, someone seems to know the truth about who she really is. Eleanor is turning 70 and marking the occasion with a beautiful party at her new clifftop Cornish home. A retrospective television show has been commissioned to commemorate her and the great and the good will be there to toast Eleanor's success. But as her three daughters and her many friends gather, the stories Eleanor has been telling about her own life and family seem less and less convincing. Not every story has a happy ending: and every family has its secrets. As the threats against her escalate, will Eleanor be forced to tell the truth at last?
