The boys imagine a wolf will come to nourish her, but their plan backfires. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e It is springtime in \"The Night of the Comet,\" and in the days before Pigott's comet will pass over their town, Harris's and Bostock's thoughts turn to love: Bostock swoons over Harris's sister Mary; Harris longs for Captain Bostock's telescope. The boys strike a deal: Bostock will make off with the telescope in exchange for Harris's \"expert\" wooing advice. Unfortunately, that expertise is not quite what Bostock would have hoped.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review of Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590177839\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.60w x 0.96d","brand":"Leon Garfield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43397688098997,"sku":"9781590177839","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_083dcfff-bea7-4865-992c-97600aa5e9eb.jpg?v=1702392668","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-complete-bostock-and-harris-9781590177839","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
