This is a pre-loved book in very good condition. The edition we currently have in stock is the Persephone Classics edition with the picture rather than the grey cover here. 
 
'Hilary Wainwright, poet and intellectual, returns after the war to a blasted and impoverished France in order to trace a child lost five years before. The novel asks: is the child really his? And does he want him? These are questions you can take to be as metaphorical as you wish: the novel works perfectly well as straight narrative. It's extraordinarily gripping: it has the page-turning compulsion of a thriller while at the same time being written with perfect clarity and precision.'
 
Little Boy Lost is Persephone Book number 28.
