The setting is "Wearemouth", a fictional blend of Plymouth and
Dartmouth. We are introduced to five children who, on a walk to the
cinema, pass a local landmark, the Wooden Angel, made from a ship's
figurehead and stand holding hands, making a wish. The rest of the
book follows their careers to see how far the wishes come true.
This was the only book written by Victor Canning under the pen name
Julian Forest. The time is during and immediately after the Great
War, and the book tells us a great deal about social attitudes and
class in a west country city of that era. It is one of the best of
Victor Canning's early novels.
