paperback. Condition: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. 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.…

paperback. Condition: Good. 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.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. SHY. Synopsis. An adolescent schoolboy on holiday with his parents strikes up a friendship with an 88-year-old woman. The mutual attraction is undeniable, probably because they are both the wrong age for the party. Cy - Cyril Morrison - is awkward in grown-up company. Fraulein Schmidt - who lived through WW2 - has seen everything. She teases him by calling him 'her little gigolo'. The phrase impresses Cy, who decides that a gigolo is exactly what he wants to be when he grows up - whatever that means. Disillusioned with school life, Cy runs away from home in search of his old lady, who lives hundreds of miles away in another country. As a missing person, he becomes the focus of a police search, but on the road he learns to look after himself, sleeping rough, stealing when necessary and relying on the protection of people he meets along the way. The story follows his adventures, the despair of his parents and the efforts of various agencies looking for him. In the three years he is on the run he takes a variety of casual jobs, absorbing a lesson from each new encounter. When he finally reaches Fraulein Schmidt, she is horrified at what he has done and insists he contact his parents. Cy now has to face the consequences of his actions, come to terms with the damage he has done to his own family and adjust to the reunion when they come to take him home. After a period of adjustment he enrolls on a journalism course at a local college. Full of extravagant stories about his travels, he finds his fellow students regard him as a cocky line-shooter. Confused by their rejection, he feels that three years of self-sufficiency must have given him insights they couldn't match, until it's pointed out to him that his experiences came at a price. Thus subdued, he is forced to recognize that self-interest is not the way to enlightenment. This item is printed on demand.
