Katherine Rundell’s enthusiasts are legion and they’re classy. Queen Camilla has authorised her book as a Christmas present to year 6 children; Michael Morpurgo compares her to Tolkien.

The comparison that really comes to mind is with JK Rowling, especially now that she’s got a seven-figure deal for the movie rights to her Impossible Creatures series. The latest, The Neverfear, confirms the resemblance.
