THE DRIFTWAY by Penelope Lively Dust jacket illustrated by David K. Stone. New York: E.P. Dutton Co., Inc., (1973). First American edition, first printing. Contains publisher's "First edition" statement to the copyright page. Lively, most remembered for her Booker Prize-winning MOON TIGER, Carnegie Medal Award-winning GHOST OF THOMAS KEMPE, and Whitbread Award-winning A STITCH IN TIME has a talented penchant for writing low fantasy and time-slip books. Both of those assets are employed in this young adult novel set on the Driftway, an ancient road cattlemen once used that is now near a modern highway. The Driftway can reveal past experiences of travelers who had great troubles. Young Paul, traveling with his family, wondering if the police are after him, and resenting his new step-mother, sees people back in time, who survived larger troubles than his. A story that appeals to both adults and young adults. Minuscule crimp to the upper spine edge, else very nearly fine and quite tight in fresh green linen with black titles to the spine; in a price-clipped near fine dust jacket with a hint of fading to the spine panel. Elusive in such nice condition. Octavo; 140 pages. FREE MEDIA MAIL SHIPPING TO THE U.S.A. PLEASE VIEW OUR STORE FOR MORE GREAT FIRST EDITION BOOKS THANKS! Created by Seller's Assistant Basic.
