Description:
London: Longman Books, 1972. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. First Printing - First Thus. 8vo. 192 pp. Blue boards lettered in silver on the spine. Light wear at the corners of the dustjacket with a short closed tear on the upper right of the front panel and a chip from the lower edge of the front panel; price intact; no interior markings. The first time the children saw the Devil, he was sitting next to them in the second row of deck chairs in the bandstand. He was biting his nails. So begins the horrifying story of a madman loose in a small seaside town - his prey the very young and the very old. Seen through the eyes of Hilary - a precocious, highly imaginative, and lonely child - it is a chilling story about the perceptiveness of children, the blindness of parents, and the allure of strangers. As the adults carry on with their own grown-up antics, Hilary is led further and further into the twilight world of one man¹s terrifyingly distorted view of normal life. But will she have the sense to resist it?.
