The Boy Peter Kendell

Just off the High Street, next to the Thai restaurant and the fire station, round the back of the bookshop or overlooking Tesco?s loading bay, there is a house. A special house. You may never need to find this house yourself, but if you do it will be there waiting for you. You may find it or it may find you. And when its front door opens and you go inside you will discover? What? By turn funny and serious, fearful and comforting, these are tales of the borderland ? of the school where the magic of the elder powers of the Vale of White Horse is never far away, of the white witches and their demonic foes, of secret friends who suddenly take physical form, of the gods who are hanging on the phone, waiting for us to call. This new enhanced edition of The Boy features two previously unpublished full-length stories and is fully illustrated with more than twenty stunning paintings and drawings by Christopher Cavill.
