Raised in secrecy by a mother everyone thinks has gone mad, Daniel's only link to his past is the intricately built model of the family home High Gates. The dolls house is perfect in every detail. Then Daniel is reunited with his uncle Severin, who bears an uncanny resemblance to a sinister wooden doll he has found hidden in the house.
- "A superb and subtle writer." --Mal Peet, "Guardian " - "A pitch-perfect Gothic thriller." --"Sunday Telegraph" - "Anne Fine is right on top form in "The Devil Walks", a page-turning sinister tale where the tension mounts to the very end... Now read on! A splendid child's introduction to gothic." --Marilyn Brocklehurst, "The Bookseller" - "Chilling, creepy and utterly compelling... a finely crafted tale... Fine creates a wonderful sense of place and the devilish captain Severin will haunt your psyche. A satisfying summer read for those who like to be spooked." --Vanessa Lewis, "The Bookseller".
