Brideshead Revisited, has been subjected to that controversial literary treatment – the sequel – sparking a
furious feud between a first-time novelist and the Waugh family and trustees.
Michael Johnston, a businessman and writer of radio documentaries, has just published Brideshead Regained,
a follow-up to the story of the doomed aristocratic Catholic family, the Flytes. But in doing so, Mr Johnston has
incurred the wrath of the Waugh estate, which threatened him with legal action over the unauthorised seque”
