Photo: Lucy Scholes. I first came across the poet and short story writer Frances Bellerby’s fiction when I was working on my Ph.D. My subject was sibling relationships in mid-twentieth-century British literature, and some dusty avenue of research led me to Bellerby a name I had not come across before and haven’t since, bar this article on the treasure trove that is the Neglected Books website quite a few of whose short stories feature brother-and-sister pairs.

Advertisement What happened before? Itâs a perennial question that curious readers have put to authors, almost as frequently as, what happened after? And it has given rise to that increasingly popular genre, the prequel. Sometimes, the author writes it. Alice Hoffman, V.C. Andrews and Irvine Walsh have all given us prequels to their notable novels: Walshâs Skagboys is particularly agonising, knowing the addictive spiral waiting for his young men in Nick Carraway, as played by Tobey Maguire in Baz Lurhmannâs âThe Great Gatsbyâ, gets new life in Michael Farris Smithâs prequel to F. Scott Fitzgeraldâs novel. ....
