I had no luck finding a copy of it until I came across the omnibus edition of Is and this book: canonically the ninth, publicationally the tenth or eleventh book in what I believe is one of the great classic series of young-adult adventure novels. And I've mentioned before that the title Is is a sovereign internet search killer. Midnight Is a Place is treated as a completely separate work, even though it shares the same alternate-history period-fantasy world as this series. (Examples: Limbo Lodge= Dangerous Games Is= Is Underground.) The fourth book in publication order, a prequel called The Whispering Mountain, is routinely left out of numbered lists of the canonincal series, which may lead to confusion about which book is the nth in the series. A couple of the books have different titles in the U.S. Following Joan Aiken's "Wolves Chronicles," which I have also seen described as the "James III saga," is a bit challenging.
