Hardcover. Condition: Good. First edition. 160 pages. Dj chipped. Ex-library'On the skirts of the moor' or 'on the edge of the beyond' people said when t hey talked about Sunset Farm, and to young Peter Varden who lived at Sunset Farm the words held a special fascination. There was his home, so familiar, safe and hardworking, and only just beyond it the vast, treacherous tract of Dartmoor, s o bleak and threatening in winter or enveloped in one of its sudden and bewilder ing mists.Peter's own great singlehanded struggle with Dartmoor came when he was still a little boy. It was haymaking time, a boiling hot day 'with a temperatur e', as Peter's sister Beth put it. Anyone could see that it was going to rain, a nd the best hay would be ruined unless the entire family worked like demons to g et it in.So it was that Peter was sent alone for the very first time to fetch th e cows home for milking, and when he couldn't find them he went looking on the o pen, dangerous moor. Here, instead of a sunset there seemed to be something evil and threatening, and Peter could see nothing. No tors, no skyline, no cows, not hing. He was lost in a grey swirling, Dartmoor fog.
