Now we have to start calling Wayne "The Hammer".
P.S. It clearly says "the Hammond's" to my eye.
"Thank you so much for your card about the new edition of Farmer Giles, so kind of you to write. The cover is an adaptation of the second cover I did for the book- after the original one 40 years ago! The new edition, with the Hammer's erudite notes, has a new map, added or done this year.
It was a joy to have you encouragement and thank you again.
I hope all is well with you.
Happy Christmas and every best wish- sincerely Pauline"
