Great Regulars: As it happens, museums are so much

inside my imagination that I once wrote a book about a boy who is stuck in a museum at night and finds that the exhibits come alive. If this sounds rather like the plot of a Hollywood film, then the coincidence struck me, too, particularly as my book appeared some 10 years before the film came out! In mine, the Roman statues, a skeleton, a stuffed tiger, Elvis Presley and a Victorian factory all come to life and the boy is nearly captured by the Victorian owners of the museum and put in a glass case.
