Производитель: "Penguin Books Ltd." I'd been kicked out of two boarding schools and the last thing I wanted was to be here, on the East Anglian coast, in a third. But without St Oswald's. I would not have discovered the fisherman's hut with its roaring fire, its striped blanket its sea monster stew. Without St Oswald's, 1 would not have met the boy with the beautiful eyes, the flickering half-smile and no past. Without St Oswald's. I would not have met Finn. And without Finn, there would be no story. Формат: 13 см x 19, 5 см. ISBN:978-0-141-32246-9 Издательство: "Penguin Books Ltd." (2008)
