   When was the ghost of Thomas Kempe written?

   • The Ghost of Thomas Kempe was published in 1973. It is over 40 years since it was written – by some alter ego, or so it seems. Read today, it is familiar to me, but also strange; I couldn’t write like that now – indeed, writing for children left me long ago, to my regret.
