Hill Man Written under another name.

Hill Man was written by Janice Holt Giles under the name of John Garth. A book about rural life, which was not in keeping with the other books JHG had written. I thoroughly enjoyed the book in the 60's, and I can hardly wait to get my copy.Janice and Henry Giles were two outstanding people!
