(NO MORE THAT 4 BOOKS PER ORDER ALLOWED SO THAT PARCEL WEIGHS 2 kg. OR LESS) - Book and wrapper still in great condition. Very scarce title. Selling at massive prices overseas.   >>>   Skallagrigg unites Arthur, a little boy abandoned many years ago in a grim hospital in northern England, with Esther, a radiantly intelligent young girl who is suffering from cerebral palsy; and with Daniel, an American computer games genius. Skallagrigg whatever the name signifies, or whoever he is will come to transform their lives. And William Horwood's inspired, heart-rending story of rescue and redemptive love will undoubtedly touch his readers lives, based as it is on a real-life story.   -   Some of the passages could wring tears from a stone but they are tears of recognition, not pity.
