About This Item
(London, 1983): New England Library. First UK Edition. Octavo. 432pp., (1) pp. nursery rhyme. A little girl called Alice. A deaf-mute. A vision. Alice can suddenly hear and speak. She can perform Miracles. Soon the site of the visitation, beneath an ancient, twisted tree, has become a shrine, a holy place for thousands of pilgrims. Herbert has thrilled and terrified millions with his brilliant evocations of horror and suspense. This title surpasses them all. A stunning tale of the supernatural. The shattering, breath-taking climax will leave the reader exhausted and afraid. Bound in black cloth, spine lettering gilt, some toning to margins, near fine in a fine unclipped pictorial dust jacket.
