This spooky fantasy from Australia for older kids concerns a youth whose dream and waking lives converge when he finds himself custodian and protector of a magic child. Like Robert Browning's elusive poem, THE DARK TOWER, which inspired this book, the details are mystical and confusing, though the thrust is a clear and conventional battle between good and evil. Narrator Francis Greenslade gives a workmanlike, slightly laconic rendering in a light Aussie accent. Y.R. © AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Seller: The London Bookworm, East Sussex, United Kingdom
Cloth. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Awake, Tom works the cliffs in the shadow of Tower Rock, a pillar of stone that no one has ever climbed; asleep, he is the "Carrier", the bearer of a mysteriously beautiful child. In his daylight life Tom inhabits a grimy industrial town at the turn of the last century; by night he journeys across a seemingly timeless, winter-locked landscape in search of the fabulous "Sleeper". Somewhere, some time, his two lives must meet. The key is Tower Rock which looms above both worlds. Behind the eyeless mask of its summit lies the secret of his dual existence. Who is the Sleeper? What is the nature of the elfin-like child that Tom carries? Who are the "companions", and in particular the crippled Blossom, who escort him by night as well as by day? And above all, what is the purpose of Tom's dream journey?. Seller Inventory # 020498
