When Howard Spring died in May 1965,letters from all over the world poured into his Cornish home.The novelist whose books had sold millions of copies had made friends among his readers everywhere. T here can be few better and happier examples of a man being identified with his works.His wife, who has already delighted readers with her own book,'Memories and Gardens',has now written an affectionate memoir of him,drawing largely upon his own autobiographical writings,some of which have not been published before.No one is better qualified to do so,for throughout their long and happy marriage Mrs Spring not only shared in her husband's work,typing every bit of his writing, but remained his inspiration until the end.From humble beginnings (today he would be called underprivileged),Howard Spring achieved a dazzling success as a novelist.He was a born storyteller,with a gift for portrayal of character and situation,and an ability to create atmosphere that had already made him an outstanding descriptive journalist.South Wales, Manchester,and Cornwall - the places he knew best - are also the settings of his books.Mrs Spring now fills in many intimate details of her husband's life in all three places,and relates his background and experience to such well- loved novels as 'My Son, My Son!' and 'Fame is the Spur'.
