Summary: A Buried Treasure
Review: I had never heard of Beresford before I bought this book (The Wonder) and I must say that I was more than pleasantly surprised by this gem of a book. I think that "The Wonder" belongs to the classics of science fiction / psychology books.

It is the story of a child who is born with a supernatural intelligence, forced to live in a world with no equals to himself. It becomes clear to all who see the wonder that he is superior in intellect and so he becomes isolated from everyone. The wonder also knows of his own superior intellect and he is not interested in normal social interaction. The story deals with the deep psychological problems that higher intelligence brings with it, as well as Beresford's own philosophy of knowledge and life.

I am so pleased with this book that I am now looking for more Beresford novels, but they seem difficult to find (a buried treasure) .
