The Crown of Darkness.
Published by Sydney, The Pinchgut Press 1979., 1979
First edition. Octavo-size paperback original. Fore-edge slightly foxed, some mild tape stains on the endpapers (from an improperly attached mylar protector, since removed), ownership signature on the half-title page, otherwise good in wrappers as issued, in an added archival jacket for this copy. The third in an acclaimed fantasy series (totalling 6 books), all published first in octavo-size paperbacks by Pinchgut Press of Sydney (all out-of-print, and all very scarce in the original format). Ashton Scholastic later reprinted the first two in the series in smaller, Penguin-size paperbacks, but apparently not the others. The other titles are: The Land Behind the World, The Lost Souls of the Twilight, The Crown of Light, Zaddick and the Seafarers, & Beyond the Outlandish Mountains. One knowledgable reviewer commented on the first part of the series: "taken together, these four novels represent a remarkable achievement: an Australian excursion into high fantasy which challenges comparison with Susan Cooper's "Dark is Rising" sequence and the early Alan Garner". Illustrated in b/w by Kim Gamble. Postage within Australia for this small/light book is set at $5, so please disregard any site default rate, which will be adjusted downwards before the order is processed by the bookseller.
