K. M. Peyton published her first book aged just fifteen, and has been loved by generations of readers ever since. She said once, “I write to entertain”, and Wild Lily will certainly do that.  Set in the 1920s, in those breathless years between the wars, it’s a captivating story of unrequited love, bravery and personal catastrophe. Born into a wealthy family Antony is a reckless 17 year old when the book opens, obsessed with planes and flying. He is loved from afar by Lily, whose own background is very different. K. M. Peyton demands a lot from her characters in terms of physical courage, and it is Antony’s tragedy that of the two of them, Lily is the bolder and more daring. Elegantly and beautifully written, this soaring love story, will delight K. M. Peyton fans of all ages. ~ Andrea Reece

For more well-written, timeless love stories, see Eva Ibbotson’s recently reissued classics Magic Flutes and The Morning Gift.  

A message from the editor, David Fickling "I have edited Kathy for nearly 30 years and I;ve loved every minute. Her writing is so good you'll catch your breath. In Wild Lily you'll jump out of a plane with her, you'll feel like you are up there, in the sky, heart in throat, staring down, wind rushing over your face...."
