About This Item
New York: Houghton Mifflin, 1952. First US Edition. . Hardback. Good/Good. First US edition, hardback in dustwrapper. 18.5 × 12.5cm, 209pp. After the death of her grandmother, Bethell moves from one family to another in the sleepy New Zealand township of Te Kano. She stays with the curt German hotel-keeper, with the fat prissy grocer and his moralistic wife, with her aunt, the town's 'bad woman.' But it is not until her father, Johnny Gow - the witch's thorn - reclaims her that she truly knows despair. Bethell's only hope of escaping her father's curse lies with the warm and loving Wi family. Condition: The book is in good condition, with some tanning to the page but the binding is secure. The wrapper is lightly chipped and creased to the edges but remains attractive.
