About This Item
New York: Taplinger Publishing Co, 1984. hardcover. Near fine: clean, square, tight, unmarked/Near fine: clean, NOT clipped ($14.95). 8vo 276pp. first thus. from front flap: "When this novel first appeared in 1965, a reviewer in The Bulletin, an eminent Australian literary journal, wrote: "The Merry-Go-Round in the Sea will probably become a small classic...for the writer has gone to childhood and discovered a country." This prediction came true, for in 1966 Randolph Stow's beautiful novel of growing up in wartime Australia received the Britannica-Australia Award and is now considered a classic of modern Australian literature, one that is widely read, studied, and admired." #01047.
