Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Pan Edition. At 82, the eminent archaeologists Richard Fox drowns himself among the orange peel and litter of the oily waters off the Isle of Wight. His son Peter returns for the funeral, and against his better judgement he stays on at The Round House in an effort to come to terms with the father who had always overshadowed him. But the family house, with all the gathered papers and memories, is a suffocating mausoleum. Surrounded by the ageing remnants of a life, Peter feels himself sinking.(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences.

First Edition
Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition.Out of Call or Cry. The Island of Sark This book is a compelling oridinal study of life on Sark, the smallest of the Channel islands, and the last British territory to be liberated during the Second World War. Sark is unique, a feudal kingdom still only accessible by sea, whose 550 people have kept themselves apart from the twentieth century and who now find themselves in collision with it. There are no cars, no bureaucracy, no divorce, and schooling is provided only up to the age of fifteen. Sark's massive cliffs, the isolation that protected it once, have now become its weakness. Using the voices of the islanders from nine to ninety, the author uses her novelist's craft to weave a fascinating surprising and detailed picture of island life there since the turn of the century. Her book is framed by her friendship with the oldest man on the island. It is an absorbing story of severance and continuity, of the sanctuary and the sanctions of communmity in a small world where every family is a different village, where history is not dead and everything is potentially conentious. 212 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
