In the adjustment which he ha to make to the new postwar world, into which are mingled poignant memories of his stay in Germany at the romantic Scholl Rensburg and of its beautiful chatelaine, the Baroness Hildegarde, Langrash forgets his past and sinks completely into ville life in Westerly. But with the coming of war Tom found himself reliving the past, detail for detail when the young German parachutist is shot down in the field behind Westerly. ** 275 pages. 6 x 8 inches. ** Postage for oversized and international shipping will be calculated by size and weight.
