Under the Sea-Wind

by Carson, Rachel L

Under the Sea Wind (1941) is the first book by Rachel Carson. Originally published by Simon & Schuster, it received very good reviews but sold poorly in its first edition. After Carson's success with The Sea Around Us (1951), Under the Sea Wind was republished by Oxford University Press; this edition became a bestseller and was an alternate Book-of-the-Month Club selection.
