Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Used: Acceptable. Hardback with D/J in good condition but some staining to bottom edges of pages. 1983 Kestrel Books reprint. Brian and Andy are inseparable, almost like twins. But the boys live in wartime London and Brian?s real twin brother has been killed in the Blitz. In their games they pretend to be fighter planes and plan what they would do if they should meet an enemy parachutist. Then their lives change dramatically: pilot less bombs (Hitler?s secret weapon) fall on London and Brian is sent away to the country to stay with his aunt and uncle on their farm. At first things don?t go well: Brian hates the animals, and he doesn?t think much of Pip, his aunt?s foster-child. Above all, he misses Andy. Then, one night, Brian sees a stray enemy aircraft being shot down and he is almost certain he sees the glimmer of a falling parachute. The Home Guard are alerted, but a thorough search of the area reveals no German airman. No one seems to believe his story but Brian is almost sure that he saw the parachute - if only he could find some shred of solid evidence? This is an exciting and thoughtful adventure story, full of sparks of lively wit and humour. The atmosphere of wartime England - both city and countryside - is vividly conveyed. Alan Spooner?s first novel, The Singers of the Field, was a runner-up for the Penguin/Guardian competition. ?A very human story, funny and moving and above all honest? - used books, secondhand books, out of print books, hard to find books, for sale, second-hand books, college books, student books, nonfiction, first edition, signed copies, non-fiction books delivered world wide.
