Sobre este artículo
OXFORD: Oxford University Press, 1982. A first edition, first printing published by Oxford University Press in 1982. A very good hardback glazed boards book with some light fading to the spine, a small stain to the fore-edge, without inscriptions. A little dustiness to the top of the inside rear board. Gillian Cross's "The Demon Headmaster" series, launched in 1982, holds a significant place in British children's literature. Its blend of thrilling suspense, science fiction, and school life resonated with young readers. The television adaptation in the late 1990s and again, more recently, further solidified its cultural presence. The Demon Headmaster, with his hypnotic control, became an iconic antagonist. The series engages universal themes of authority, conformity, and individuality within a school setting, encouraging critical thinking. Its legacy endures through continued print availability and influence on subsequent children's literature, making it a hallmark of captivating storytelling in the world of young adult fiction. The first UK edition is remarkably scarce
