Egmont UK will launch a list of modern children’s classics this year, starting…

… with five titles in March

Andy Stanton’s You’re a Bad Man Mr Gum will feature is this list of classic titles.

Fiction publishing director Sarah Hughes said she wanted to “highlight some of the best and most iconic fiction that we publish”.

“The thinking behind the Modern Classics is to help extend a title’s reach into the gift market and to introduce classic authors that some grown-ups may not be aware of, but they should be,” she said.
