About This Item
London: George Allen & Unwin, 1972. First Edition . Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. The interior of the book is crisp and clean, with no signatures or marks of previous use. The blue covers are fresh, with light wear at edges and corners. The silver spine lettering is still bright. The dust jacket is not corner clipped and is also in excellent condition, with just a touch of wear at edges, but no rips or damage. The attached scan gives a better idea of condition. Synopsis: A time-slip novel. "In the Middle Ages, Castle Merlin, a border castle near Hadrian's wall, had been renowned for its merlin hawking, and was particularly associated with Dame Alys Hemmingway, who wrote the historic Book of Merlins, about the care and training of her famous birds. Nowadays, however, the castle offers elaborate holidays for children. When Susie , from London, arrives at the castle, she realizes that the holiday is programmed to honour Dame Alys and her times. Slowly she begins to realize that she, and another of the holiday children, the mysterious Bryan, who can read the Book of Merlins but little else, are in touch with the past.
