Description

Someone has stolen Patrick Balfour’s identity. A successful headmaster of a London school, a regular broadcaster and a writer of historical novels, as well as having a fairly spicy private life, Balfour is the object of some unsurprising envy. Yet who would be so malicious as to commit identity fraud and frame Patrick as a thief and a paedophile, using his national insurance number and impersonating his handwriting? As Patrick is teased by a series of letters, it becomes apparent that his adversary is certainly better-read than him and he is sent off on a tense literary chase, picking up clues from Kafka’s The Trial to R L Stevenson and to Joseph Clark, a 17th Century contortionist. Patrick’s morale begins to collapse – the police don’t believe him and his daughter rejects him. Desperate, he decides he must pursue his pursuer.

Description

This is an illuminating tale about making friends and coming home’ — FOREWORD REVIEW

A lonely boy finds his feet in a new city by watching his neighbours’ lives unfold behind their lit windows.

Adjusting to life in a new city is tough. When a young boy moves from the countryside, everyone around him seems so unfriendly. Lonely and homesick, he sits on a bench outside his new apartment block and watches the busy urban lives going on behind the lit windows. Gradually he begins to interact with the people around him, and ends up making a whole host of new friends.

Written in a syncopated, urban rhyme, this book explores the challenges of moving house and finding friends, and is also a heartfelt love letter to city living. A search-and-find element will keep children young and old entertained for hours, as they scour the vibrant, detailed illustrations of Aart Jan Venema, which are perfectly complemented by the elegant printing and packaging of this unique book.
