On Twitter, the ever busy Colleen revealed the new story has been created in the style of the Irish Arts and Crafts genius, children’s book illustrator Harry Clarke, also considered Ireland’s greatest stained glass artist.

Internationally,  the name of Harry Clarke is synonymous with quality craftsmanship and imaginative genius in his stained glass work.

Neil Gaiman is currently in the the UK working on the TV adaptation of Good Omens, his collaboration with the late Terry Pratchett, directed by Douglas Mackinnon. The series,  will stream globally on Amazon Prime Video first this year, before airing weekly on BBC Two in the UK afterwards.
