The Happy Ending is the latest of Leo's books to be republished, and
should be most welcome as second-hand copies of it are usually sold at a
premium price, no doubt due to its rarity. There was only ever one edition printed
(although a Boots library binding is listed) in January 1957. Possibly Collins
missed a marketing trick here in not selling it alongside what are effectively
its companion volumes Love in the Sun and The Golden Waterwheel.
These three titles do, after all, form a trilogy, charting the lives of the Walmsley
family for about 12 years.
So at long last here it is, in a brand new and totally-revised edition that
will appeal to Walmsley readers old and new.

Walmsley book used
in TV programme
Alexander Armstrong's Very British Holiday was broadcast on BBC1 in November 2009 and January 2010.
Society members will not have failed to see that the book he is holding
whilst sitting in a Scarborough beach-front cafe is... Leo Walmsley's Lancashire & Yorkshire.
The 60-minute programme, made by Crackit Productions (which owns the copyright for the above image), chronicles Mr Armstrong's experiences going on a staycation and sampling the delights, overlooked locations and eccentricities of holidaying in England.
The book, published in 1951, is described by Mr Armstrong as "a useful little tome" and he goes on to quote from page 89.
