Sinopsis

'Funny and filled with heart . . . a sparky debut' – Alexandra Heminsley, The London Paper

Dreaming of joining the brotherhood of Acapulcan cliff-divers, young Mikey Hough rigs a diving platform in the garden of his suburban Berkshire home. Two years later, when he awakes from his coma, Mikey befriends Roger, an elderly ex-pilot hospitalised when his precious Distinguished Flying Cross was violently stolen from him. Mikey soon learns that his own disastrous attempt at flight has damaged his Suprachiasmatic Nucleus, destroying his ability to sleep. The medical profession can do nothing for him. He is sent home from hospital to die. One night, a despondent Mikey stumbles across Livia, the cynical teenage ward of a neighbouring councilman. Together they decide to track down Roger’s stolen medal.

So begins a remarkable, picaresque journey into the dark heart of suburban England, during which the fearless Mikey and Livia confront a sprawling cast of pensioners, policemen and criminals – including the profoundly sinister man-child `The Fat Controller’. As they hurtle towards daybreak, they persuade Roger to undertake one last, gut-wrenching sortie into the night skies.

The Sleepwalker's Introduction to Flight is a heart-rending and riotous mini-epic, a brilliantly subversive coming-of-age tale about what happens when dark and light collide, and society’s marginalised find their voice.

'A humorous, moving and eloquent debut' Bookseller

Descripci�n de la librer�a

We are UK-based collectors of ultra-modern (almost exclusively post-2000) signed first editions, now down-sizing our collection and giving others the opportunity to enjoy the special books that have provided us with so much enjoyment and satisfaction over the years. We are offering an eclectic mix of books for sale, with large numbers of signed UK first editions in categories including crime, historical fiction, science fiction and thrillers. We are also offering many limited / special editions, including numbered editions. For many authors, we are able to offer single listings comprising sets or series of multiple books. We aim to provide maximum customer satisfaction and to treat you as we would wish to be treated ourselves. With that in mind, we will provide accurate descriptions with photos (and additional photos on request), rapid despatch (almost always within 24 hrs of the receipt of your order) and safe and secure mailing (using proper book wraps / boxes and - for books sold for more than �50 only using despatch methods that are fully tracked, insured and will require a signature on delivery). Postage costs are included in our prices for UK customers. For overseas customers, we have set a standard Abe postal rate, but will communicate direct with customers and charge the actual cost of postage and packing by tracked and insured delivery methods requiring signature. Please note that new EU regulations make it impractical for us to post books to the EU. Therefore, prospective customers from the EU are requested to email us before making an order so that we can discuss how best we might get the books they want to them.
