Set on the Dorset coast, The Children of Dynmouth is "one of Trevor’s best" novels, and won the Whitbread Award. "The book tells of the interconnected lives of the residents of a small seaside town, and how Timothy Gedge, a teenage boy, spies on them and brings about disaster; it is a reflection on evil and on marriage." (Literary Encyclopedia) Trevor adapted the novel into a screenplay for BBC television. N. B.
