serial To start off we're digging deep into the Observer archives. In 1996 Heather Calder started a fiction serial within our pages called The Sun Came to Millen. We've turned those forty weekly installments into an eight-part audio book for you to enjoy all over again some twenty-five years later.

Parker Merlihan (the writer's son) has adapted the story to audio format, narrates and produced the series.
