Visually the exterior appearance is exceptional,and even internally,the book is also in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation.It is only the interior,unintended production fault described, that prevents a higher grading. When Lizzie and her brother Tom uncover some surprising facts about their father - long since dead - they set out on a quest for the truth: a trip to the rugged north coast of Cornwall. . . to bewitching lanes and haunted moors . . . to Wise Women and ghostly encounters . . . to the dungeons of an ancient castle . . . to unforseen and serious danger,placing Lizzie's life in peril. This record of their strange adventure - a story of courage and perseverance - is told as seen through Lizzie's eyes. Rose Forshall grew up in rural France and returned to England to study illustration at University College Falmouth.In 2009 she received a QEST Scholarship to support her studies,and she graduated with a Masters degree in 2011.
