And isn't ...Pauline, that's a superb post. And isn't it wonderful that now we have the chance to go back to our old texts and tighten up all the things which have annoyed us since the first publication and turn them into tighter, clearer stories. And also relive the expereience of writing them. And even as we deal with weaknesses, still marvel at how clever we must have been in those days even to think we could attempt to write such things. And of course how really quite moving it is to see our characters, who have lived with us in our heads for years after the last words were written, back in their old haunts telling us how, over the decades, they have subtly changed. Preparing an old book for a new reissue which you control yourself is proving a rare, rare pleasure. How lucky we are to have been given the chance.<br /><br />We were by the Pembrokeshire coast last month. What a wonderful place, redolent of so much.Dennis Hamleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15781139870037634374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-3907509159922279552012-07-21T18:33:23.846+01:002012-07-21T18:33:23.846+01:00Wow-lovely blog post.
