Fantasy and reality with memorable characters in London during the two World Wars.
In 1916 the impressionable 15-year-old George is sent from Manchester to Cornwall because of his ill-health. Here he meets Hector Chown, a professor of Greek. Hector is living in a derelict house with his actress niece, Sylvia Bascombe, and her young daughter, Janet. The story of how their lives become entwined spans the years of uncertainty between the two World Wars and, ever present in the tale, the house becomes a symbol of the fragility of their world.
First published 1961 by Collins, London. Condition: Good for its age. Jacket has wear and tear.
