Many Congratulations to Imogen Hermes Gowar for this. It was a really close call. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I didn’t make the meeting (thanks to Network Rail) and contributed via phone from the train as it made its way into London. It was a shame as I was really looking forward to meeting all my shadow panel members.

Here we all are holding the winning book

    

    

I am really looking forward to seeing what the real judges pick next week!
