ANGELA DOUGLAS'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY TO BE PUBLISHED

Fantom Publishing is thrilled to announce we will be publishing an updated version of Angela Douglas's 1982 autobiography Swings and Roundabouts.

In this moving, frank and deeply felt autobiography, Angela tells of her life from her convent-based education, of the joy of finding her feet as an actress and of her helpless love for this very married man, Kenneth More. She talks of their seven year wait for his divorce, of being shunned by his former friends, of their joyful companionship and, after sixteen years together, their painful trial separation: a dismal failure, thank heavens. And of their agonising love for each other as they struggled against his final crippling illness- a time when he went from strength to vulnerability and she went from vulnerability to strength.

Written by George Mann and David J Howe, and narrated by Terry Molloy, Child of Time is the twelfth and final release in the acclaimed Time Hunter series.
