"It was the eleventh day of the school holidays and Rebecca was bored. Bored. Bored. Bored."
But events take a dramatic turn for the better (or worse) when she finds herself transported to a distant planet, whose people are terrorized by jelly-like monsters called Ghosts. Rebecca resolves to sort out their problems.
With the help of Grisby, a sore-footed misery-boots, Kovak, an out-of-work spy, and Captain K, a rather puny superhero, she sets out for the Forbidden Lands in search of a solution. There’s only one problem... the evil Mister Glister.
Big Finish chairman Jason Haigh-Ellery said: "I am so excited that Big Finish are publishing the fiftieth anniversary edition of Rebecca's World, as it's a book that means a lot to me and many others who grew up with Terry Nation's writing.
"The fact that this book is based on stories that Terry told to his young daughter, the eponymous Rebecca, at bedtime, and that she is working with us on this edition just makes it all the better. I look forward to a whole new generation of Terry's fans discovering this wondrous book."
Terry Nation’s daughter, Rebecca Nation, added: "Republishing Rebecca's World on its fiftieth anniversary is a tribute to my dad and his extraordinary imagination. As you can imagine, it's quite emotional for me and I miss him every single day. This book was his gift to me. “What began as a bedtime story has become a timeless and much-loved adventure that I hope will inspire others as much as it inspired and delighted me. It is my way of keeping our father-daughter bond alive and inviting readers to step into the world we created together.
"At its heart, the story is about caring for a fragile world - something extremely important to myself and my dad. Today, that message feels more urgent than ever, and I’m proud to honour his legacy by sharing it with a new generation of readers."
£1 from each sale of this book will be donated to Tree of Hope, a charity based in Kent which supports children with complex healthcare needs.
