Voldi, Air and Angels is another Hill I haven't come across, but I agree
with you Springtime of the Year - it was very moving.

Hi Trish,
I haven't read The Man in Black, but heard a radio drama. I didn't think
much of it, but I'm not really one for ghost stories. I've read In the
Springtime of the year, which I found quite moveing and also Air and Angels
which I found extremely moving, particularly the ending. It was very well
read on TB too.
