	1	Barrett, Nicholas. FLEDGER: A NOVEL. Michael Joseph, London, (1985), Ist edition. 206 pp, 8vo, hard cover in dust jacket. "Alone on a bleak outcrop of the rock turret where the Great Black-Backed Gulls wheel and swoop a puffin chick awaits the call to join his flock. His name is Goldie. His father is an outcast. His mother is dead. Before she was torn to pieces by the stabbing beaks of the gulls she had terrible dreams containing dark warnings. She dreamt that a mysterious force would wrench the island where the puffin flock nests up from the seabed and join it to t h e mainland, where it could be overrun by four-legged beasts with vicious teeth and cruel eyes. That was when she deserted the flock. When the call comes Goldie journeys to the clifftop nesting site to join the flock and finds that his mother' s dr ea ms have come true. A slaughter has taken place. For Goldie it is only the beginning of a fierce struggle to save his flock from the dreadful enemy that threatens their destruction. As well as a gripping tale of heroism and adventure, 'Fle dg er' is a fascinating and authentic reconstruction of life in a puffin flock, with its instinctive system of beliefs and highly-developed pecking order." Very light browning to page edges. Dust jacket has very light edge wrinkling, a few tiny fox ing mark s and small area of scuffing at top edge of rear flap. VG/VG Price: 10.00 USD
