This book, the first Australian edition, is clearly a wartime edition with its single colour dust jacket and the lower quality of the paper stock. The book was intially published in 1935 by Viking, New York. The latter book is about the changes brought by World War I on Kate and her family and depicts the effects of war. The Good Master is about a young girl Kate who is sent to stay with her uncle's family in the country after her mother dies. The Good Master is the first of her books, and as with its sequel, The Singing Tree, it is a story of life in Hungary in the eary part of the 20th century. Kate Seredy was a Hungarian-born illustrator and author of children's books who lived in the United States after 1922. Page Structure is sound with no missing pages. Bookseller's sticker on front endpage and previous owner's name on front free endpage.Įnd Matters – List of Pronunciations and Meanings: list of Hungarian terms used in the book. Good condition with some shelf wear and bumping.Įnd Papers are intact, white.
Harrap & Company, Sydney.Ĭover is hard bound in brown cloth. 1939 Edition ('Special Australian Edition' - First Australian edition). What I disliked was that Kate never got punished for her escapades, not even when she smashed the glass cart (and when she goes swimming in her underclothes.).
