On the 1st April, 1914, in the village of Burston, a group of
children went on strike to protest at the unfair dismissal of their

This new field guide offers a complete identification reference to
all of the sandpipers, plovers, stints and other waders found in
Europe, Asia and North America. The superb plates show birds at
rest and in flight, in every plumage variant likely to be
encountered in the region. Species have been grouped, especially on
the flight plates, so that similar species are shown close to each
other. Facing text summarises key identification pointers to
complete a quick-reference, field-friendly guide to this difficult
and challenging group.
Dan and Margaret have come to spend Christmas with Rachel and
Edmund in their renovated seventeenth-century labourer's cottage.
Later, as Rachel plays the piano, she suddenly gets a sinister
feeling of deja vu. Shortly afterwards, the electricity fails and

macabre events which mount relentlessly to a bizarre and terrifying
climax culminating in a tragic report coming from the TV into an
empty brightly-lit room.2 women, 2 men
