Sobre este artículo
London: The Bodley Head, 1976. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First Impression of this master storyteller's eighth novel. 8vo: 222pp. Publisher's lime-green cloth, spine lettered in gold, wraparound pictorial dust jacket, priced £3.50 and illustrated by John Walsh. Exceptionally Fine, tight, square and apparently unread, in a vibrant, unfaded jacket. Set on the Dorset coast, The Children of Dynmouth is "one of Trevor's best" novels, and won the Whitbread Award. "The book tells of the interconnected lives of the residents of a small seaside town, and how Timothy Gedge, a teenage boy, spies on them and brings about disaster; it is a reflection on evil and on marriage." (Literary Encyclopedia) Trevor adapted the novel into a screenplay for BBC television. N. B. With few exceptions (always identified), we only stock books in exceptional condition, with dust jackets carefully preserved in archival, removable polypropylene sleeves. All orders are packaged with care and posted promptly. Satisfaction guaranteed.

Sinopsis
Penguin Decades bring you the novels that helped shape modern Britain. When they were published, some were bestsellers, some were considered scandalous, and others were simply misunderstood. All represent their time and helped define their generation, while today each is considered a landmark work of storytelling.William Trevor's The Children of Dynmouth was first published in 1976. In it we follow awkward, lonely, curious teenager Timothy Gedge as he wanders around the bland south-coast seaside town of Dynmouth. Timothy takes a prurient interest in the lives of the adults there, who only realize the sinister purpose to which he seeks to put his knowledge too late. This brilliant novel is eerily prescient as it shows a young person's obsession with fame and his capacity for evil.
