'Teddy, a young koala, lived in the eucalyptus forests of eastern Australia. One day, he fell out of the home-tree. Curious to know what went on in the world, he did not scramble back up the tree to his mother. Instead, he started off on a walkabout, as a hike is called in Australia. Along the way, he met other unique animals of Australia - the platypus, the kangaroo, the dingo. He was rescued twice by boys who tried to keep the koala as a pet - one an Australian aborigine, the other the son of a sheepshearer. After many exciting adventures, Teddy Koala found a home in a local sanctuary; then he was brought to America.

'As with the fine historical biographies of Alice Curtis Desmond, this fascinating book is absolutely authentic in its presentation of the animals of Australia. The author is "crackers" (Australian slang for enthusiastic) about koalas and made the long journey to their native land to observe them and other Down Under oddities. Later she visited the "teddys" who were brought to America successfully - even though they are such fussy eaters - and obtained valuable material from the zoologists who managed this feat.'

1 2 y separately published work icon The Moon at Perigee George Johnston , New York (City) : Dodd, Mead , 1950 Z289407 1948 single work novel 'George H. Johnston's penetrating novel tells the story of Michael Casey, ex-soldier and artist who, in spite of the scandal and public disgrace of his past life, cannot bring himself to leave the India he loves-but fails to understand. Casey sees himself as disillusioned beyond hope. But he is brought out of his chosen role of outcast artist, first by the unsolicited devotion of the old gharry- walla Refiq, and then by the love and faith of the beautiful and sensible American, Kylie York. At last, in the holy city of Benares, Casey begins to understand India - and himself. But with the coming of the monsoon the suppressed violence of India breaks out and there is the fierce rioting of Indian against Indian and Indian against Briton. In the swift turn of events Casey finds himself a hero to the Indians and a murderer in the eyes of the British Raj: and in the madness of the monsoon, his dark past returns and the shadow of tragedy threatens to become tragedy's very substance. Mr. Johnston writes with color and virtuosity. His strong sense of drama makes this an impressive novel, with a passionate, finely told love story and a brilliant re-creation of the strange and frightening atmosphere of India. Here is a story to excite the imagination and haunt the memory.' (Publication summary)
