Poolmonkey Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 There was a film on UK tv last Christmas (possibly Christmas Day) about an angel who lived in a boy`s shed, the angel is ill and the boy nurses him back to health. I think it`s supposed to be a children`s film and maybe began with a S which I think is the angels name. What on earth is it called ? Quote
chesilbeach Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 It sounds like Skellig - I've not seen the film, but I've read the book by David Almond and it was incredibly good. Quote
Poolmonkey Posted October 28, 2012 Author Posted October 28, 2012 That`s the one !!! Thanks I`ve just ordered the dvd as a little prezzie to myself for Christmas. (Believe it or not, I only own one dvd, so this will be doubling my collection) I might order the book as well !! Quote
chesilbeach Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 It was originally published in 1998/9 so would need the publishers to make the effort to create an ebook version, and most of them are concentrating on new books or converting books that are still selling lots, the current edition is a 2009 imprint, so unless it's still selling well, it probably won't be top of their list of books to digitise.

Poolmonkey Posted October 28, 2012 Author Posted October 28, 2012 That`s a shame - I`ll have to order the book. The film was fabulous - I`d never heard of it and just turned the tv over by accident, having missed the first 20 mins - but I was glued ! Quote
