The morning papers in London

I have just been out to the local newsagency to buy the papers and all give extensive coverage to Eleanor Catton's stunning Man Booker win last evening. Most mention the story on the cover and all give half a page upwards to the story. Here are their headlines:

The Daily Telegraph -  - Youngest star joins Booker luminaries

The Independent - Catton's gold rush dazzles Booker judges and

                               A suitable entrancing work sends prize on its way to a bigger stage

The Times -  Youngest author wins Booker prize with novel that's a real heavyweight

The Guardian - The youngest and the longest: winner Catton sets a new Booker benchmark  and

Asking novel questions  with epic ambition
