Zustand: Sehr gut. 228 S., Zustand: geringe Gebrauchs- u. Lagerspuren, sehr gutes Exemplar. Text / Sprache: Englisch , It is 1884, and in Adelaide the child Ida dreams of New Zealand. Over there, smoke comes out of the ground, and Uncle Harry knows gum-diggers who are earls in disguise. When Mama takes Ida and Maud to visit Uncle, and they stay with dear old Mr Maufe at The Peach Groves, life seems idyllic, at first. There are picnics under the willows and trips downriver. And Oc with his outsize head and Zillah, the visionary artist. But in the forest there are poisonous berries and the rata vine that twines and encircles. As Ida watches and eavesdrops, everything turns increasingly sinister. Instead of Papa's Maltese cross, Mama wears Uncle's kauri-gum at her throat; after the fancy dress ball, Arctic Maiden and Hamlet lie together on the ballroom floor; and Mr Maufe hunts Maud all over the house. Now the thicket of ink lines that springs from Zillah's pen is thornier, mazier, more dangerous than ever before. 16523A ISBN 0701124903 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 420 22 cm, gebundene Ausgabe, Hardcover mit Original-SchutzUmschlag,
