About This Item
New York: Atheneum, 1974. First Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. The interior of the book is crisp and clean. There is a small sticker ghost on the front free end paper, but this is the only flaw. The green cloth covers are fresh, with just a hint of wear at tips and corners. The dust jacket is not priced, and is in very good condition, with two short closed tears on the top of the front panel and minor rubs to the top and bottom of the spine area. A very nice copy. The dust jacket is now in a protective mylar cover. Synopsis: The school holidays are usually a solitary time for Mary, whose parents run a boy's school,. Occasionally, of course, one of the boys has nowhere to go during the vacation and has to stay on. This vacation, William, quite a reasonable, companionable boy, is the guest, The first afternoon, magic happens when the children are transported into a picture of Atlantis, sinking into the sea. This was the first adventure brought about through half a seashell William owns.
