accident that destroyed his face , as he claims, or is he a
criminal on the run? There is only one way to find out, and they
get what they asked for. The Invisible Man takes off not only his
gloves to reveal no hands, but his bandages to reveal no head! Then
the pranks - comic and malevolent - truly begin.
Gaston Leroux's classic tale of tragedy, grand opera, romance and
horror has been masterfully adapted by Ken Hill, the author of
Mummy's Tomb and The Curse of the Werewolf, into a musical play
which preserves all of the excitement and passion of the much-loved
original, underscored by a strong current of comedy as well. The
Phantom, born with a monstrously disfigured face but the voice of
an angel, haunts the Paris Opera House and falls in love with
Christine, a young chorus girl. He terrorizes the management in
order to further Christine's career, while preying upon her
childlike innocence to force her to love him in return. But Raoul,
Christine's true love, intends to fight for her to the end...9

For owners and would-be owners of three-wheeled Morgans, Ken Hill
has created an invaluable `Bible' which is absolutely packed with
genuinely useful information. Ken sets the stage by detailing the
history of the Morgan motor company, describes the marque's
motorsport record and then, with great thoroughness, chronicles the
evolution of all three-wheeler models since 1910. Next comes
practical advice on maintenance and repair - advice based on expert
information produced when the three-wheelers were still in
production. Part of the `Morgan experience' is the extraordinary
social scene that embraces the marque on a worldwide basis, so Ken
devotes a whole chapter to Morgan clubs and their activities. The
last part of the book is a series of appendices comprised of
original specification, production changes, wiring diagrams,
technical data sheets, details of specialists, distributors and
manufacturers, details of Morgan miniature models and a record of
factory sales literature. Altogether, this work is a unique source
book of essential information for all Morgan three-wheeler owners
and enthusiasts. The two other books in this series: Completely
Morgan - Four-wheelers 1936-1968, and Completely Morgan -
Four-wheelers 1968-1995, are also being reissued as part of
Veloce's Classic Reprint series.
For all owners - and would-be owners - of four-wheeled Morgans,
this invaluable book is packed with genuinely useful information.
Beginning with a detailed look at Morgan's history, Ken Hill then
describes the marque's motorsport record, followed by a thorough
look at the evolution of all four-cylinder and eight-cylinder
models available from 1968 to 1975. Later chapters are devoted to
restoration techniques, technical specifications, and information
about the Morgan community, so providing an invaluable reference
source. See the other books in this series, Completely Morgan -
Three-Wheelers, and Completely Morgan - Four-Wheelers 1936-1968,
also published by Veloce as part of its Classic Reprint series.
Take this book and toss it out a second story window. Eventually it
will reach the ground. It's a law. Throw it at the ground, it will
get there sooner then if you open it and cast it out into the wind
where it may drift or even float for a time before it reaches the
ground. Tear it page by page and give each one to the wind to do
what it will do with it. One may be found by someone who will read
the words on the page, feel glad they happened upon it and put the
poem in their pocket, as another may consider it littering.
This is a true story with fictional embellishments. It is a story
of the sexual abuse of a young boy by a Catholic priest. It
Happened to me. I kept this secret to myself and, in fact, never
revealed it to my wife until 35 years after we were married Buried
deep within, the full physical and psychological impact did not
begin to resurface until shortly after my retirement from the
teaching profession. Then it erupted like a volcano. I needed,
sought and received professional help. Every week for the next
three years, I visited with my psychiatrist. Through her kind and
loving guidance, I began to understand my behavioural patterns and
my severe mood swings. The narrative traces the life of the young
protagonist and illustrates the life-long effects of this childhood
traumatic experience. It explores his relationships with his
family, his friends, his God and his church. It is sometimes sad
but often humorous and it does end on a hopeful note.
Consider the road, any road. How things would look without it, why
it is where it is, what it brings us to when we don't have anyplace
to be. Where these stories take place the road cuts through fields
of potatoes, corn and tobacco, past ponds and broken down barns,
clotheslines and kitchens with lights left burning through the
night. Where people don't kill each other very often or shoot at
each other much, and bombs are not falling from the sky or
exploding outside the market. It's paradise really, for the lucky
ones. Like most places it's where people are trying like mad to
love or keep from thinking about it.
