Little does Colin imagine that he will count among his pupils the demon in human form known as Tony Morland; or that the master?s ravishing, feather-brained daughter Rose will, with her flights of fancy and many admirers, spread chaos throughout school and village. Humorous, high-spirited and cleverly observed, Summer Half is a comic delight.* This is a VG+ text copy of the 1st thus, with minimal age & shelf wear reducing it to VG.*
