Wrightson, Patricia: The Dark Bright Water. 23154
Hutchinson: London. 1979.
First British edition (& 1st printing).
Second book in the Wirrun trilogy, following The Ice is Coming (1977), and followed by Behind the Wind (1981).
'' her central work of fantasy is the Wirrun trilogy: The Ice is Coming (1977), The Dark Bright Water (1978) and Behind the Wind (1981). The central conflict - between ancient ice spirits and encroached-upon humanity - is here rendered in more subtle terms, because the human protagonist, Wirrun, is himself an Aborigine. In the first volume his alliance with the most ancient Nargun of all, to oppose the advent of the new ice age, is necessary to maintain a balance in the world between good and evil and to fight chaos. The sequels change the adversaries but not the war.'' (John Clute/Encyclopedia of Fantasy).
Slight wear to bottom corner of front and rear board, else a fine copy in a fine dustjacket.

Hutchinson: London. 1973.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Young adult fantasy novel. The US Atheneum edition was published a year laler in 1974. Very uncommon British hardcover.
''Australian writer whose subtle and detailed portrayals of her native land began with The Crooked Snake (1955), about a children's secret society which saves some endangered species. The central landscape depicted in her work is that of Australia, then and now, and the basic story which she tells and retells is of the thinning of the old magic land with the invasion of white settlers. In THE NARGUN AND THE STARS (1973 UK), a displaced white boy, Simon, finds himself in conflict with the eponymous rock spirit, who is embodied in stone and whose short-term defeat at the hands of the sympathetic child cannot be permanent - for stone will last, but Simon will soon be a ''whisper in the dark'''' (John Clute/Encyclopedia of Fantasy).
