"THE BLACK PRINCE"
Sir,-I have just risen from listeningin to a final instalment of that splendid serial In the Days of the Black Prince. A short time ago, I was delighted to learn that its author was an old friend, Bill Holder, and wrote expressing appreciation. In his reply, written just a few weeks before his tragic death, he gave this interesting information: "Owing to the war playing up with the cast, I have to chop and change the story as this or that one disappears into the blue. Sir Guy Pauncefort is a relieving mate in the merchant naval reserve, and he disappears for months at a stretch, so the story has to be bent to please him. Now our Simon Strongbow threatens to disappear for two months, and we have to go like fury to record as much of him as possible. But you will appreciate these difficulties." I did. Now it is sad to realise that Bill’s active and fertile brain has ended
so, abruptly.-
