Informationen zum Autor Born in Belfast in 1960, David Logan underwent neurosurgery in childhood and lost most of his hearing as a result. He left school at sixteen and worked briefly in various unskilled jobs before returning to full-time education - he has a BSc in Sociology and an MA in Ethics and the Philosophy of Religion from the University of Ulster, and also a BA in English Literature and Language from the Open University. He has written fiction for the SF, Horror and Fantasy small presses and has edited and published his own magazine. David and his wife live in Carrickfergus but escape to sunnier lands at every opportunity. When in Carrickfergus, David can be found loitering in coffee bars, staring out of windows, dreaming up ever more fantastical excuses for not going to the gym - again. Klappentext While Sophia stays at home in a world untouched by modern trappings, her brother Edward is sent to boarding school. There he meets a boy whose very existence hints at universes of unlimited possibilities, and who might help Edward liberate Sophia. This dark, dazzling tale of childhood wonder, time-travelling poets and theoretical physics is the joint winner of the inaugural Terry Pratchett Prize. On the eve of Granny Hazel's burial in the back garden, a stranger in his time machine - a machine that bears an uncanny resemblance to a Morris Minor - visits five year-old Edward with a strange request.
