In this, his newest book, the contemporary nature of the story is even greater than in the first two. Four ordinary children living in Manchester are suddenly and seemingly inexplicably thrown up against forces far stronger than any ever conceived by a writer of science fiction. ***The originality of the story and the power of its telling sweep the reader along from the first page to the last, and Charles Keeping's drawings perfectly complement the narrative. ***It is a book that to describe would give away its secrets. It demands to be read.' (Quote from inside dustwrapper blurb). ***Preceding the publication of the true first edition, this is a rare advanced reading proof copy of Alan Garner's third novel. Extremely hard to find, especially complete in the attractive colour-illustrated proof dustwrapper. A scarce item as only a handful of these proof copies are likely to have survived, and not many of these would retain their dustwrappers. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Charles Keeping (Colour dustwrapper and interior black and white illustrations) (illustrator).…
