Présentation de l'éditeur

When John Carroll's grandparents die, his mother is forced to send him away to a charity boarding school because she is too poor to keep him. There the ten-year-old John has to submit to a rigorous routine of early rises, long country walks and endless school work and he begins to wonder whether he will ever get to see his home or mother again.

But then a new teacher arrives at the school - Mr Trinity. Not only does Mr Trinity look a little strange - he has pointy ears and wears a long black cape - but he behaves strangely too! John and his friend Sutherland decide to investigate his little cottage in the school grounds and they discover that Mr Trinity is stranger - and much, much more wonderful - than they could possibly ever have imagined...!
