Harold

Catherine Cookson's well-loved novels HAMILTON and GOODBYE HAMILTON told the story of Maisie, who invented an imaginary horse to keep her company through the long years of an unhappy marriage, and became a bestselling author. In this engaging sequel, Hamilton has vanished from Maisie's life and two human companions take his place in a story full of excitement, laughter and love. In the days of mourning that followed the death of her second husband Nardy, Maisie took comfort from the company of the cheerful, bright-eyed little cockney boy called Harold. Now, a year later, she has decided to adopt him, to the delight of his large, raucous family - and, of course, Harold himself.
