About This Item
Viking Kestrel, Ringwood, Victoria, 1987. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Very Good. 350 g; 176 pages, in original hardcover binding with colour illustrated dust jacket. Slight loss of colour to the bottom edge of the boards from shelf contact, and the pages are uniformly browned owing to the poor quality of paper used. 17-year-old Col leads a double life. In public he plays football and drinks with the town gang, but in private he escapes to his secret place in the forest. When the greenies come to Col's tiny timber town, he feels. If the logging stops, the local workers will lose their jobs and the town will die. It is the logging continues, the brown scars will soon destroyed Col's green land. Torn between these two forces, Col is painfully initiated into the adult world. A world of compromise and contradiction where right and wrong are inextricably linked. -- front fold over blurb Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Please refer to accompanying picture (s).
