Under the blazing sun, these creatures and plants develop rapidly, later becoming discovered by a small boy called Wolfe. Despite the creatures being benevolent, they disrupt the order of the quiet fishing town. Written by Northern Irish novelist and activist, Stephen Gilbert, who was labelled by E. M. Forester as "a writer of distinction".With a gift inscription 'For George Sassoon' dated 1946, to the front endpaper.

Internally, firmly bound. Pages bright and clean. Very Good Indeed
