Description: The Guardians John Christopher: Puffin Books. 1973. In a world where two nations rule all, Rob must find a way to live among them both in this futuristic story from the author of the Tripods series. Set in the year 2052 and the world has been divided into two societies. One is the Conurb a sprawling, modern city where technology rules and people live with only the bare minimum they need to survive. The other is the County a land of green fields and beautiful mansions, where the people have turned back the clock to a pristine past.Rob has always lived in the Conurb, but after he is sent to a terrible boarding school, he decides his only option is to take a chance and cross the Barrier into the unknown world of the County. There he meets another boy who introduces Rob to the very different society, and all the wondrous things that come with it.But even though Rob wants to believe that the County is a utopia, he begins to learn about the darkness that lurks beneath the smiles of his new family and friends. And when sinister secrets are revealed, Rob is forced to make a choice: stay in the County, where everything is a perfect lie, or return to the Conurb, where life is hard, horrible, and real. The book is in good, clean, lightly used order. Card covers are in good order showing only light wear. Bright, clean, and tightly bound internally, pages are lightly tanned to the edges.. Overall a nice clean, lightly used copy. Please be aware this is a used item, 50+ years old, and it will show some signs of age and use throughout. I am happy to answer any queries you may have in relation to the title, will do my best to answer same day. Will include FREE careful postage and packing via Royal Mail. Thank you. I'm the (not so) fortunate nominee chosen to dispose of a large collection of books that have been in our family for many years. We've also moved house recently and I've made up my mind to make (some) inroads into our own collection of books. Some weird and wonderful titles, many very rare, particularly from the family library. I'll be listing them whenever time allows. Please keep dipping into the listings as I'm working my way through a large assortment of different books (and some other small/postable items). Any book dealers/collectors that would be interested in offering on a number of books, in one lot, then I will always do my best to shave the price by as much as possible. This would only apply to books listed as B.I.N. (I'll let the auctions run to give a fair chance to anyone interested). Please just get in touch with a list of what you're interested in and I'll get back to you with a price...same day in most cases. Thank you. I have given what I consider to be a fair and accurate description but if you have any questions at all about anything, please just ask.....before bidding. Please study the large images above to get an idea of the condition of the item........as usual any questions I am very happy to respond. Book(s) will always be carefully packed. I always obtain a proof of posting from the Post Office when your item(s) is/are dispatched.
