Description

The Wind Off The Small Isles by Mary Stewart. Illustrated by Laurence Irving. 'Mary Stewart's new story is lit with the special magic of people and of place that are hallmarks of a famous author's best work. In a series of deft brush-strokes she brings her heroine, Perdita - a beautiful twenty-three-year-old - to vivid life. As secretary to the redoubtable children's novelist, Cora Gresham, Perdita's job carries her to the Canary Islands in search of local colour for a new masterpiece, and a peaceful house in which to write it. But the house is already occupied - once by the past, and the haunting memory of what happened there a century ago; and now by its present owners - very much alive - a famous playwright and his research assistant, Michael. In the fierce beauty of the volcanic landscape, in the persons of Perdita and Michael, past and present meet, violently.' The dust jacket has light to medium general wear with small chips at the top and bottom of the spine and some sun fading. Price has been clipped. The book has light foxing and general wear but remains tight and bright.
