I know I've read some Peter Bell before but I certainly need to read more, his 'Figures in a Landscape', was fabulous detailing a search for a lost 'horse' on a hillside in Gwent. Colin Insole closes the proceedings with a fun and pulpy tale of ancient evil and generations of guardians… Commenting on Bubbles has been removed. Why?
