"Walker Nabs Two by Sims: Sanford J. Greenburger agent Heide Lange closed a two-book deal for The Story of Charlotte’s Web author Michael Sims with Walker & Company’s George Gibson. Gibson took U.S. and U.K. rights—Walker’s parent company, Bloomsbury, will publish in England—to Thoreau’s Flute and The Phantom Coach. In Thoreau’s Flute Sims examines what led the titular author to Walden Pond, where he wrote his masterpiece, Walden. The Phantom Coach is the third edition in Sims’s anthology series of golden age stories, the Connoisseur's Collection."
