2nd ed. Hardback small octavo, dustjacket, good condition (in fair dustjacket), black & white drawings, illustrated endpapers, pages lightly toned, edges uncut, large piece missing top spine jacket (slight loss top & bottom edges, missing corners replaced by tape & white paper backing reverse side, cover illustration complete), cover corners little bumped, some edgewear, autograph (written & dated dedication from illustrator front flyleaf), protected by removable semiarchival plastic sleeve. 241 pp. An Australian story for young adults by Stephen Fennimore about a boy from the United States named Martin Haddon who stays in Australia with people he does not know. Life at Tangari was full of adventures with daily expeditions into the bush, a beetle hunt, a 20-mile trek by horseback through blazed trails, and Penny's hidey-hole (the charming drawings on the endpapers were found on the walls of her cave). But until Martin set out alone to spend a day in the bush did he show the makings of a real bushman and at the same time save his own life, and later help save Tangari. The author has relived many scenes from his own boyhood, which was spent in Australia. The Australian-born artist Ninon McKnight has captured the characters and the background in her fine pen-and-ink drawings. This book was chosen by The Junior Literary Guild as an outstanding adventure book for boys and girls. Second copyright edition. (Not listed in Muir.).
