This ex-lib has the usual library goodies at the back - still in very good condition - no dustjacket   ****  A young-adult science fiction novel   -  Set in the year 2052, it depicts an authoritarian England divided into two distinct societies: the modern, overpopulated "Conurbs" and the aristocratic, rarefied "County". Crowded city districts and all-pervasive technology make up the Conurbs while manors and rolling countrysides typical of 19th-century England make up the County. The story follows a young Conurban orphan named Rob as he experiences life in both worlds, uncovering truths and choosing sides in the process. - Christopher and The Guardians won the annual Guardian Children's Fiction Prize from The Guardian newspaper, coincidentally, which is judged by a panel of British children's writers. In 1976 he won the Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis in category youth fiction for the German-language edition, Die Wächter. -  In 1986 the German TV station ARD broadcast a film adaptation under that title. *** RECOMMENDED READING *** *N.B.*   If you buy more than one book from me you only pay R 6 postage on each additional book – see what else I have to offer, it might just be worth your while.
