??The Fantasy art of Henning Ludvigsen

?

This month sees the first in a new series of articles on the great ENID BLYTON, beginning with MALORY TOWERS. Blyton remains as popular as ever, and her school stories, in particular, have seen renewed interest, aided no doubt by the boarding school elements of Harry Potter. Elsewhere in this issue, I continue my memories of The Crypt Grammar School in Gloucester, and life in general during the late 1950s, a Britain that was gentler and nicer in almost every respect. The truly magnificent LIFE ON MARS finished on 10th April - read all about how the series ended and see if you agree with me that it was the best TV drama for several decades. See contents above.

In the June issue : A feature article on Steven Erikson, whose REAPER'S GALE is this month's Fantasy Book of the Month. Reaper's Gale is Book 7 in a planned series of 10 volumes, and takes epic fantasy to new heights. Also in next month's GATEWAY: Enid Blyton's other boarding school series, St. Clare's, the She-Devil with a seord, RED SONJA, Diana Wynne-Jones, and much, much?more.

Next month, two more spectacularly magnificent artists grace the pages of Gateway - published May 30th.
