Synopsis

This title continues the classic story that began when an 18th-century drummer boy marched straight out of the past into the present, irrevocably changing the lives of David and Keith. David faces the mystery of a sister who arrives out of the blue, a sister he was told had died at birth. Keith and David now face a very different journey, in which they must both face up to old ghosts from the past.

About this title

About the Author:

William Mayne has been described as one of the outstanding children's authors of this century (Oxford Companion to Children's Lit.) - and is considered a top league writer 'the master of contemporary English writing for children' Times Literary Supplement. He has won all major awards including the Carnegie and Guardian fiction award. Susan Hill wrote of The Fox Gate, his first Story Book for Hodder, ' These stories for eight-year-olds and up are jewels - the words 'timeless' and 'classic' should be used sparingly, but are justified here.' (Daily Telegraph)
