As @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social said 'The story has turned into being about 2 bad boys, Mandy and Andy, and not about an elite group of men creating a den, cut-off from the real world where they could behave as they want - which was about corrupt finance and brutalising women.' #Epstein

Neil was a kind soul with an endless passion for the power of folk tales and mythology. I was proud and thrilled to have helped his book of English Folktales back into print in a new edition with Watkins. So sad that he won't see the upcoming reissue of Scottish Folktales
What a legacy he leaves.

Very sorry to say, Neil Philip has died. He has posted on X about his passions for folk story and traditional literature but more recently he posted about his illness.
His last book 'The Watkins Book of English Folktales' is excellent.

This is very sad news; Neil was a great supporter of my own books and I valued his support greatly. What a huge loss.
