Another looking forward to the adaptation. Only question is whether to go with the World Service or wait for R4.

Really excited about this. I have great faith in Robert Macfarlane and this adaptation should be wonderful. My favourite Christmas book of all time.

Looking forward to this too. I have the book on my kindle but never read it!

Ahhhhh. The only book to read at midwinter. It's an annual ritual

Me too! Thanks OP

Yep, really looking forward to this. I hadn't realised it was being broadcast in the 'real time' sequence of the book itself.

Hopefully they will adapt some of the other books too. We read The Grey King at school. The whole series is just amazing.
