A nine-year-old boy lives on the ninth floor of a high-rise tower block in a large, grim city. He hates it, but one day discovers a small silver telescope that enables him to see the beauty in the world around him - from market stalls to the surfaceof the moon. The story is written in prose with some passages in verse.
The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
