Sarah Ferguson’s Children’s Book Pulled From Sale at Publisher’s Request

Industry sources point to reputational risk from Epstein-related revelations.

Overview

  • Analytics firm NielsenIQ BookData confirmed the title was marked “withdrawn from sale” at the publisher’s request.
  • The release had been delayed from 9 October, and an Amazon listing showing 20 November availability has since been removed.
  • New Frontier Publishing and representatives for Ferguson did not respond to multiple requests for comment reported by the BBC.
  • Book‑trade commentator Neill Denny said it is not the right time to release a Ferguson book and noted such titles can be held without harm.
  • Five charities dropped Ferguson in September over emails praising Jeffrey Epstein, while other publishers, including HarperCollins, have kept existing titles available without announcing longer‑term plans.
