A WRITER has landed his first book deal - at the age of 95.
Harry Bernstein, who has never had a book published, sold The Invisible Wall to Random House in a deal worth about £10,000.
The book, out next February, tells of Harry's childhood in a Lancashire mill town before the First World War. He moved to the US and wrote it after his wife Ruby died in 2003.
He said: "There are places I've never forgotten. A smokey hill town in the North of England has haunted me for the greater part of my life."
A publisher said: "It's an inspiration to all writers."
