The Book of Silence

B Table of editions of The Book of Silence, the second Duncton trilogy, which is comprised of Duncton Tales, Duncton Rising and Duncton Stone.

From what I can tell, this second set of Duncton books was intended at first to consist of two volumes: Duncton Tales and Duncton Stone. The first edition of Duncton Tales (1991, HarperCollins) has no indication of a series name, and the blurb for the next book refers only to Duncton Stone. The 1992 paperback (Fontana Overseas) is Duncton Tales 1 on the cover. The 1994 paperback publication (HarperCollins) is marked Volume One of The Book of Silence on the cover, and in the back there are blurbs for Duncton Rising and Duncton Stone.
