"Sandel" is the 1968 novel by Angus Stewart. It is an intense, yet amusing, novel on the subject of child sexuality, child sexual abuse and paedophilia.

Plot summary

David Rogers is a 19-year-old University Student and he falls madly in love with 13-year-old Antony Sandel, head choirboy at the nearby boarding school. Tony Sandel is not only a boy of great beauty, but he has a superb boy soprano voice.

The young boy takes the initiative in developing an intimate relationship between the two. Tony is in love with himself as much as he is in love with Rogers and leads Rogers on – such as suggesting that he photographs him without his clothes on. Rogers then manages to get a job teaching at Tony’s school. After their relationship escalates through physical intimacy to serious sexual activity and Tony wins a recording contract, he lets slip the details of the intensity of his relationship with Rogers to a newspaper.

Tony’s aunt knows all about the relationship and sanctions it, suggesting that Rogers takes him off to Europe on an extended trip to escape the media attention. The relationship ends when Tony hurts himself at the airport just when they are about to leave. At the final meeting between the two, Angus Stewart reflects on the transient nature of child sexuality when Tony reveals to Rogers that he is finally growing pubic hair.
