Taong 1989 nang mag-migrate si Gourlay sa UK matapos ikasal sa kaniyang asawang si Richard Gourlay. Unang nailathala ang “Tall Story” sa tulong ng David Fickling children’s fiction house, isang kilalang publisher sa UK. Nailathala rin ito sa Pilipinas sa tulong ng Cacho Hermanos publishing house, at ng Anvil Publishing Inc. para sa mga kasalukuyang edisyon.

Na-nominate ang aklat para sa 13 international awards. Nanalo ito ng Crystal Kite Prize sa Europe  at ng National Children’s Book Award sa Pilipinas.

Pahayag naman ni Gourlay, hindi raw niya inaasahang makabilang sa listahang ito. Aniya sa isang interview para sa Philppine Inquirer, “It was so unexpected. I had no idea this list was coming out and to be honest, it was jaw-dropping to be on a list with Anne Frank, Philip Pullman and Malorie Blackman.”
