They seem a family with a golden future ; actors of genius whose present happiness is only marred by the twice-yearly visits of the Stranger in Black with his cold, uncanny stare and the feeling he conveys of some devilish and unwholesome bargain eating away at his soul Notes A Puffin book Originally published: London : Constable, 1966 Winner of the 1966 Guardian Award for children's fiction Subject Wandering Minstrels -- Juvenile fiction.
