Some of the proceeds from the republication of a children’s book written by the creator of the Daleks will go to a charity helping young people.
Terry Nation wrote Rebecca’s World – Journey to the Forbidden Planet in 1975 for and about his young daughter Rebecca, who found herself on an alien planet encountering a variety of bizarre characters.
To celebrate the book’s 50th anniversary, it is being reissued with £1 from each sale donated to Tunbridge Wells-based Tree of Hope, supporting children with complex healthcare needs.
Rebecca Nation said it began as a bedtime story but “became a timeless and much-loved adventure that I hope will inspire others as much as it inspired and delighted me”.
