The House In Paris
Penguin Main Series 535. 1st Edition, published 1946.
When eleven-year-old Henrietta arrives at the Fishers' residence in Paris, little does she know what fascinating secrets the house itself contains. Henrietta finds that her visit coincides with that of Leopold, an intense child who has come to Paris to be introduced to the mother he has never known. In the course of a single day, the mystery surrounding Leopold, his parents, Henrietta's agitated hostess and the dying matriarch in bed upstairs, come to light slowly and tantalisingly.
Condition grading: Good Minus. Some creasing to front cover corners. Creasing and wear to spine. Some foxing and corner creasing to rear cover. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
