first edition Hardcover
1967 · London
by MATHEW, Ray
London: Chapman and Hall, 1967. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First edition. A touch of foxing to the foredge and a few pages, else easily fine in fine dustwrapper. A very uncommon first novel by an expatriate Australian author, about a teacher in the bush trying to find independence and the women who vie for his attention. Mathew was better known as a poet and playwright, but moved easily from one form to another. (Inventory #: 77205)
