Excerpt from Explorers of the Dawn
The phrase look into is perhaps appropriate as applied to this book. For it is one of those books where the eye of the attentive reader sees more than a mere sparkling flow of words on a running surface of narrative. Of course this is not one of those books that everybody must read. It is not likely to become fashionable. But it seems to me so truly charming, so felicitous in subtle touches of humour, so tenderly moved with an under-running current of wistfulness, that surely it will find its own lovers; who will be, perhaps, among those who utter the names of Barrie and Kenneth Grahame with a special sound of voice.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the adventures of Angel, Seraph, and John, three energetic boys living in an English cathedral town in the early 1900s. With their imaginations fired by the swashbuckling tales of Captain Pegg, their elderly neighbor, they embark on their own daring adventures. Their world expands beyond the walls of their home when they find a hidden treasure in their own backyard, sending them off on a high-spirited quest to reclaim it. The book captures the boundless imagination of childhood, the thrill of adventure, and the strength of friendship, set against the backdrop of a sleepy town, and the era of a strict governess and boarding schools for boys. The author skillfully conveys the emotional ups and downs of the boys' experiences, reminding the reader of the sheer magic and joyous abandon of growing up.
