Originally published: London : Duckworth, 1977
The Golden Child, Penelope Fitzgeralds first work of fiction, is a classically plotted British mystery centred around the arrival of the Golden Child at a London Museum. Far be it for the hapless Waring Smith, junior officer at a prominent London Museum, to expect any kind of thanks for his work on the opening of the year's biggest exhibition The Golden Child. But when he is nearly strangled to death by a shadowy assailant and packed off to Moscow to negotiate with a mysterious curator, he finds himself at the centre of a sinister web of conspiracy, fraudulent artifacts and murder Her first novel and a comic gem, The Golden Child is written with the sharp wit and unerring eye for human foibles that mark Penelope Fitzgerald out as a truly inimitable author, and one to be cherished.
