Memories of Hills and Dales

A grandmother telling the tales of the past to her granddaughter; a mysterious kiss from a stranger in the dark; schoolboys taking off for a trek to a glacier; an old kitemaker reminiscing his heydays; and a beautiful village girl whose charms a city boy can't resist. This is a collection of stories of life in the hills and the joys, sorrows and excitement it holds.
