The Runaways by Victor Canning
On a night of wild storms, two troubled figures a 15-year-old boy, Smiler, and a cheetah, Yarra escape from captivity. Their lives become inextricably bound up as they fight for survival on the edge of Salisbury Plain.Victor Canning was a prolific writer throughout his career, which began young: he had sold several short stories by the age of nineteen and his first novel, Mr Finchley Discovers His England (1934) was published when he was twenty-three. It proved to be a runaway bestseller. Canning also wrote for children: his trilogy The Runaways was adapted for US children’s television. Canning’s later thrillers were darker and more complex than his earlier work and received further critical acclaim.
