there 's a story that will be part of my next children 's book , the graveyard book , about a boy who lives in a graveyard and is brought up by dead people , and there 's a story that i wrote when i was a very young writer called `` how to sell the ponti bridge , '' a fantasy story inspired by a man named `` count '' victor lustig who really did sell the eiffel tower in much the same way ( and who died in alcatraz prison some years later ) .
