Sarah Ferguson’s Children’s Book Pulled From Sale by Publisher

Industry voices describe the move as a commercial response to reputational damage linked to Epstein-related emails.

Overview

  • NielsenIQ Book Data told the BBC the title, Flora And Fern: Kindness Along The Way, has been marked “withdrawn from sale” at the publisher’s request.
  • The book was first scheduled for October 9, later shown on Amazon with a revised November 20 date, and has now been removed from online listings.
  • New Frontier Publishing and representatives for Ferguson did not respond to requests for comment, according to multiple reports.
  • Book trade commentator Neill Denny said delaying or withholding the release “makes total sense commercially” given current controversies.
  • Several charities ended Ferguson’s patron roles after a 2011 email praising Jeffrey Epstein became public, while other publishers have indicated some of her past titles remain in print.
