Black Swan, Paperback, 1995 -  Fiction - 284 pp. It is, perhaps, the fifteenth century and the ordered tranquillity of a Mediterranean island is about to be shattered by the appearance of two outsiders: one, a castaway, plucked from the sea by fishermen, whose beliefs represent a challenge to the established order; the other, a child abandoned by her mother and suckled by wolves, who knows nothing of the precarious relationship between Church and State but whose innocence will become the subject of a dangerous experiment. But the arrival of the Inquisition on the island creates a darker, more threatening force which will transform what has been a philosophical game of chess into a matter of life and death... Review: 'A compelling medieval fable, written from the heart and melded to a driving narrative which never once loses its tremendous pace' -- Guardian 'An irresistible blend of intellect and passion' -- Mail on Sunday 'This remarkable novel resembles an illuminated manuscript mapped with angels and mountains and signposts, an allegory for today and yesterday too. A beautiful, unsettling moral fiction about virtue and intolerance' -- Observer 'Remarkable...Utterly absorbing...richly detailed and finely imagined' -- Sunday Telegraph 'The lucidity of Jill Paton Walsh's style and the dexerity of the narrative are such that her book reads more like a good thriller than a weighty novel of ideas...An ingenious fable' -- The Times About the author  (1998) Jill Paton Walsh was educated at St Michael's Convent, North Finchley, and at St Anne's College, Oxford.

The knowledge they impart is without doubt of great service in many cases. But I think they will of only limited service to beginners and to junior pupils. One fault is that they presume some previous knowledge or insight on the part of their readers, such as very often does not exist. Again, they have always seemed to me to fail in not being sufficiently full in the explanation of difficult points, and also to fail in not being graduated carefully and easily, so as to render it possible that progress may be at once easy and sure."

Spine a bit sunned; occasional fox spot. Very good condition. A very attractively illustrated unit history."THE STORY OF THE NINTH will be eagerly sought after by all past and present Sappers. Not only will it be treasured as a valuable personal memento by all who knew the 9th Field Company at close quarters, but by contributing to the funds of the Sappers Association it will assist in perpetuating the memory of Those Comrades of all S.A.E.C. Units who did not return. It became apparent in the early planning days of 1939 and 1940 that South Africa, with its high proportion of artisans and technicians, would be able to make a larger contribution in Sapper personnel than was ever likely to be needed for our own Divisional and L. of C. requirements. Rather than use this surplus of skilled man-power in a non-technical rôle, the General Staff wisely agreed to organise and train both full- and part-time Sappers for any emergency likely to arise and, as near as possible, to anticipate the need for specialized Engineer units for a multitude of purposes. The fact can now be proudly recorded that, due to this early foresight, no request for Sapper assistance from any of the various Force Headquarters, however complicated, was ever made to the U.D.F. in vain."

The past century has wrought a vast change in his appearance, vernacular, sobriety, diversions, and general behaviour. We can congratulate ourselves, however, that a better type has been evolved, although we can still recognise to-day modified (and improved) specimens of the men who were in residence in the early twenties."

In particular I have done my best to draw a pen picture of my beloved father, Eric Anderson Walker, as I knew him and his famous works. I have glossed over my own sadnesses and heartaches and extracted some of the more light-hearted anecdotes from the kaleidoscope of my life, referring'pari passu'to episodes in recent and contemporary History as they have impinged on me."
