The Children Of Dynmouth - a classic prize-winning novel by William
Trevor William Trevor's The Children of Dynmouth (Winner of the
Whitbread Award and shortlisted for the Booker Prize) was first
published in 1976 and is a classic account of evil lurking in the
most unlikely places. In it we follow awkward, lonely, curious
teenager Timothy Gedge as he wanders around the bland seaside town
of Dynmouth. Timothy takes a prurient interest in the lives of the
adults there, who only realise the sinister purpose to which he
seeks to put his knowledge too late. 'A small masterpiece of
understatement ... a work of rare compassion' Joyce Carol Oates,

Summer, you will love this book. It will also be adored by readers
of Colm Toibin and William Boyd. William Trevor was born in
Mitchelstown, County Cork. He has written eighteen novels and
novellas, and hundreds of short stories, for which he has won a
number of prizes including the Hawthornden Prize, the Yorkshire
Post Book of the Year Award, the Whitbread Book of the Year Award
and the David Cohen Literature Prize in recognition of a lifetime's
literary achievement. In 2002 he was knighted for his services to
