Joy as belated third book on way

- BY LAURA HARDING

HERE’S some good news in an often beastly world - The Gruffalo is returning in a long-awaited third book called Gruffalo Granny.

Author Julia Donaldson was inspired to complete the half-finished tale by a campaign to get children reading. It will be published on September 10, 27 years after The Gruffalo introduced the character and 22 after sequel The Gruffalo’s Child.
