Well, Jackanory has now been referenced within an ANN article. Worlds are very much colliding. |

I seem to recall finding Jackanory boring, but I was also more of a CITV kid. It might even have been one of those things that was always halfway through by the time we walked home from school.

I don't like how they changed the cover to the book, to match the film.

Fun House? Knightmare? Such insidious programming has much to answer for. |

If you mean the book cover pictured in the article, that was from a Japanese edition published in 2003, according to Amazon Japan, which was several years before Ghibli bought the rights to adapt the book. I presume that when the Bookseller article talks about selling the translation rights to Japan _after__ the announcement of the Ghibli film, this is referring to a reissue after the previous translation rights had lapsed. (Would be interesting to know if it was a new translation.) |

The old one had a nice vintage look to it, and looked more suitable for an adult. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51UGJxfeoCL._SL500_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-big,TopRight,35,-73_OU01_SX326_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg |

Ah, I see. Yes, I prefer the older cover too... I think the photograph was actually taken for the Jackanory serialisation. (Jackanory tended to use illustrations, but in the case of Marnie the programme used photos specially taken in Norfolk - it's mentioned in the postscript to the new edition by the author's daughter.)
