Eric Malpass : At the Height of the Moon

Heinemann, London, 1967

Very scarce hardcover edition. By the author of Morning's at Seven. Ex-library with only partial spine sticker to jacket . A few other library markings and partially removed back pocket with some glue residue. Edgewear very light - jacket clean, tiny peeled area on spine, light soiling outer edge of pages, not price clipped. Pages all intact and clean other than the library stamps, 3 lines underlined on 2nd to last page and a little soiling on first endpage. Gaylord, that incredibly charming 7 year old, handles everyone (or so he imagines) with devilish cunning. It's only in Momma that he meets his match - and though he would be horrified by the suggestion, in his small cousin, the dreaded Emma. For, with appalling suddenness, the close-knit Pentecost household is disrupted by the arrival of three young visitors: David, an enignma; the lovely Jenny, who to Momma's alarm, "likes mature men" and Emma. At the same time danger appears in the lanes and meadows of the warm English countryside, and fear waxes strong with the pale light of the moon..... (400); 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall, Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
