About this Item

Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

About this title

Synopsis

Patricia E.L Woodman's adult adventure and fantasy novel, The Report of Diffy Guinn, follows the story of Diffy, as he makes a journey across a wasteland. A journey that is forbidden by the people of Diffyland, who believe the wasteland acts as a barrier for their protection. They are afraid of the people who live beyond the wasteland, as these people come and take the land, making it their own. So, for the people of Diffyland, it is best to remain hidden from the outside and the outsiders, as they call them. Nevertheless, during Diffy's time exploring, the discoveries he makes are astounding. He returns home to tell all that he has seen, but he is shocked when he is arrested and locked away in away in the House of Law and Conditions. Here, he finds a library full of books of past history. He reads and reads, falling in love with words. Wisdom fills his mind with understanding, giving him a thirst for knowledge. As time passes, Diffy enjoys writing about what he learns about his discoveries from the outside. But the people of Diffy land believe that an intelligent, living force has produced the writings, and the force wants them to take care of the living soil, the grasses and the trees. How will they react to his news?
