COMPILED AND EDITED BY SUSAN HILL

First published in 1997, three months after the tragic death of Diana, this little book contains accounts by ordinary men and women of the day they met Diana, in a wide variety of circumstances, formal, informal and private, happy and sad. The original edition sold over 30,000 copies and has been out of print for some years. It is now a collectors' item and copies fetch up to £200.

This new edition, for the 10th annmiversary of Diana`s death, has a fresh cover and an updated introduction as well as the original by Susan Hill. It is published in a very limited edition of 1,000 copies and will sell out quickly.

It gives a wonderful insight into the personality of Diana as ordinary people met and were touched by her - her beauty, charm, friendliness, down-to-earth approach, concern and sense of humour. Her laughter rings through the pages and the descriptions of her acts of generosity and helpfulness, her wisecracks and her great thoughtfulness for people, especially those in any sort of need provide a much-needed antidote to the often intrusive and hurtful media portrayal of her.
