''A Watcher in the Woods'' (ISBN 0-689-30511-7) is a 1976 mystery novel by Florence Engel Randall that was published by Atheneum Books. It was re-released by Scholastic Book Services in 1980 a new title, ''The Watcher in the Woods'' (ISBN 0-590-31334-7) to tie-in with Walt Disney Studios' film adaptation with this new, slightly altered name. ==Book== From the cover blurb The family needed a house and the big old brick and stucco place in the country seemed perfect. Why then was Jan so unhappy about it? What was she afraid of? What was in woods beyond? She had felt it the very first day, walking up to the door. She had known the watcher was there as they knocked and waited for Mrs. Aylwood to come. And the little old woman, glancing at the woods, had known it was there too. Of course they bought the house. Jan had known they would. It was her mother's kind of house. Yet it was Jan who had made the purchase possible. Mrs. Aylwood, who was selling the house only because she had to, had talked to Jan and said, "I'll have to take a chance on you." What chance was that? Moving in, Jan felt the watcher still, but the only concrete evidence was a rash of broken mirrors-all with a large X across the middle. Not until the family went on a picnic near the old pond on the property did more clues come, and then they came as puzzles to be solved, as mysteries to be understood, as incredible facts to be absorbed, and as desperate need begging for prompt action. The universe is full of surprises, and Jan's watcher was one of the most amazing. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「A Watcher in the Woods」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
