Paton Walsh has also written Birdy and the Ghosties (1989 chap) for younger children. Knowledge of Angels (1994 US), a historical novel, gained some notoriety when the UK edition, which had to be published by a press set up for the purpose by friends of the author, was nominated for the Booker Prize.
