The children's home : a novel / Charles Lambert. by Lambert, Charles, 1953- Scribner, 2016. Call #: FICTION LAM Subjects Mansions -- Fiction.   Disfigured persons -- Fiction.   Recluses -- Fiction.   Children -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781501117398 (hardback) Edition:  1st Scribner hardcover ed. Description:  210 p. ; 22 cm Summary:  In a sprawling estate Morgan Fletcher, the disfigured heir to a fortune of mysterious origins, spends his days in quiet study, avoiding his reflection in mirrors and the lake at the end of his garden. Two children, Moira and David, appear, and Morgan gives them free reign of the mansion he shares with his housekeeper Engel. Then more children begin to show up. They make bizarre discoveries in the mansion attics, and seem to disappear into the hidden rooms of the estate -- and perhaps into the hidden corners of Morgan's mind. "For fans of Shirley Jackson, Neil Gaiman, Roald Dahl, and Edward Gorey, a...debut novel from an award-winning British author about a mysterious group of children who appear to a disfigured recluse and his country doctor--and the startling revelations their behavior evokes"--Publisher.
