Novelist, playwright and screenwriter James Follett wrote over 25 novels, more than 50 radio dramas and numerous TV scripts, including several episodes of Blake’s 7. He was one of the most borrowed authors in UK libraries, and his works have been translated into over a dozen languages. This anthology includes his finest radio plays and series – including many that have never previously been available before. Framing the collection is the special BBC7 programme Men, Martians and Machines, in which Follett himself introduces us to several of his most popular pieces.

Two foundlings appear on a potter’s steps. When the potter vows to raise them, another surprise soon follows: The Laird of Dun nan Gall commissions a set of wedding cups bearing the likeness of a hag. Here is the story of the strange bride of Dun nan Gall. The Strange Bride follows The Gad Nail, winner of a Royal Dragonfly Award ans short-listed for the Rubery Book Award, and Howl of the Lambergoon, winner of ABR’s Reviewer’s Award and short-listed for the Rubery Book Award. Derek Murray returns as narrator.

If you read Howl of the Lambergoon and wondered, "How was Gad created? And where? And why? And how did he come to have such a funny-looking hat?", The Gad Nail answers all those questions and then some. Follow Gad, the magical servant, across the Isle of Mull into the Fenodrees' Woods. There, he finds Queen Fair, whose justice demands his death. A poisoned dart. A poisonous beetle. And a fire set to commemorate his death. The Gad Nail follows Howl of the Lambergoon, an award-winning children's poem.
