Synopsis

Author Algernon Henry Blackwood, born March 14 March 1869, was an English short story writer and novelist, one of the most prolific writers of ghost stories in the history of the genre. He was also a journalist and an extremely popular storyteller on radio and television (he appeared on the first British television program ever), and a secret agent during the First World War. His work inspired writers as diverse as Henry Miller and Carlos Casteneda. His supernatural fiction includes such weird masterpieces as The Willows and The Wendigo. Blackwood was born a high Victorian and died a television star on December 10, 1951. Alas, recordings of the broadcasts with which he entranced a rapt nation seem lost to perpetuity. The stories themselves, thankfully, are not.
Narrator Edward E. French is an Oscar nominated Special Effects Makeup Artist (“Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country”) and Best Makeup Emmy winner for “House,” “Mad TV,” and HBO’s “West World” reboot. His Email Address is edwardfrench06@hotmail.com

There are beginnings of the books when I know that I found another favorite author. I felt such in love with e.g. Georgette Heyer and Elizabeth Taylor. I am pretty sure that Rosamunde Pilcher will be my next precious writer (I must read another one book to be sure). She stared at him, accepting fo......more

Goodreads review by Aubrey on January 15, 2008

This was a good, quick, clean romance. The reason I gave it four stars instead of five is I felt that Pilcher didn't spend enough time establishing why the main characters connected in the first place. In order to have a good romance, an author has to establish the sparks between the characters. In......more

Goodreads review by Diana on August 28, 2013

Rosamund Pilcher, in my less than humble opinion, is one of the very best writers of gentle fiction. Of course, I have read The Shell Seekers and loved it, but haven't read anything of hers for a few years. I came across this short novel - not a novella - in a hospital bookstall and of course pounce......more
