Horror writer Julie
Myerson picks the six books that mean the most to her
1. The Reef
by Edith Wharton
A lesser-known Wharton novel but, just like her very best, it is complex, clever, sad, funny and unerringly honest in its dissection of American society, money, sex and love – and the terrible, often tragic failure of men and women to understand each other. I came to Wharton’s work only a few years ago and can hardly bear to think I might never have discovered her. I find her prose and her attitudes astoundingly modern and she’s a consistently good read. |

Illustrator Frann
Preston-Gannon was mentored by the children's author
Maurice's own house
could only be described as a treasure trove. His love for beautiful and
creative objects was evident in the things he collected – first editions of
American literature, William Blake prints, early Mickey Mouse memorabilia –
and he loved nothing more than to bring them out and show them to guests. We
would visit his archives where you could find folders of work by illustrators
such as Beatrix Potter, Randolph Caldecott and, of course, the earlier work
of Maurice himself.
