Person
Eric Morecambe is a true comedy icon and a national treasure. He was one half of Morecambe & Wise, whose Christmas television specials ruled the airwaves for many years. He made his debut as a writer in 1981 with Mr Lonely, while The Reluctant Vampire was his first highly successful book for children, published in 1982. It was followed by The Vampire's Revenge and quickly established him as an authority on vampires and their habits.
