Castles in the Sand by RICHARD RICH
Read by Peter Craze
' There, walking along the shoreline, was a man and his dog. Well, not a man: the man. The one who was always alone at the guest house. The man who built those crazy sandcasttes every day.'

by Louise Page
"A frightened dog's a violent animal, so's a frightened man. Don't frighten him more. Your Inspector's always behind you, keeping an eye on you. He won't let you get hurt."

Caring Incorporated by JOHN KIRKMORRIS with and For two people whose jobs are caring for other people, Harry and Judith are remarkably inept at caring for themselves: his marriage has failed and she's an expert in picking the wrong man. You'd think that they could be good companions in adversity but it doesn't look as if they can do anything for each other.
