Harold

Leonard Saunders, a teacher at an eccentrically-run Academy for adult learning, has a young son, George, who has a fascination for conjurors such as Harold the Executioner. Leonard fears, from experience, that the boy's hobby might lead him to experiment with the occult. A prank cooked up by father and son backfires and their carefree life is threatened. A delightful novel about lost literature and parental love with an amusingly dark and scandalous twist in the tail.
