Good news for Dugganites

From Anthea Morton-Saner

Sir: Allan Massie’s advocacy of Alfred Duggan (Books, 3 June) is greatly welcomed. As Duggan’s recently retired literary agent, I can assure Mr Massie that several of the novels should no longer be out of print. Phoenix Press (which took over from Cassell Military Paperbacks) are reissuing them. About six should be available now, with the remaining titles scheduled. Sadly, his wonderful history of the intrigues of the Angevin court, Devil’s Brood, is not on the list to be reprinted.
