Scott Bill.
BOORI.
London: Abelard-Schuman 1978. 149 pp 8vo 8 5/8" H. The author's first novel. B&w illustrations. "The elements of Aboriginal lore which make up this stirring tale of magic and high adventure are based largely on the Kabi and Wakka nations who once lived near the Queensland coast north of Brisbane. 'Boori' is a fantasy but it shows the importance placed upon moral obligations by Aborigines in their native culture and it is set in a precisely described landscape. The reader should be able to trace the journey of the young man with the aid of an atlas and imagination - the People have gone but the mountains and rivers still remain and the Melong still dances his great circling corroboree off the coast bringing the cyclones in to lay waste the land. In its imaginative empathy with traditional Aboriginal life and way of thought 'Boori' is a notable achievement." Light edge wear light wrinkling at top/bottom of spine. Dust jacket has very light wrinkling at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds two very small closed edge tears minor rubbing. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Illus. by A.M. Hicks.

THE MAGICIAN'S BOY.
New York: Margaret K. McElderry 2004. 101 pp 8vo 8 1/4" H. B&w illustrations. "The Boy polishes the Magician's wands and catches the rabbits that the Magician pulls out of hats. But the Boy's favorite job is operating the puppets for the Magician's famous puppet play 'Saint George and the Dragon' - until one terrible day when in the middle of a performance the Boy can't find the Saint George puppet. The Magician is furious. He points a long magical finger at the Boy and - poof! - the Boy is suddenly in the strange Land of Story where he must find Saint George. The Boy's hunt for Saint George is full of adventures with oddly familiar people. He saves the Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe from losing her children; he spoils the wolf's plan to eat Little Red Riding Hood; and he narrowly escapes being eaten himself by the Giant at the top of Jack's beanstalk. But the Boy's last adventure is the most amazing of all - and changes his life forever. No child who reads this delightful tale by master storyteller Susan Cooper is likely to forget it."

Only those born with the gift could learn to Sing these spirits of earth air fire and water into doing their bidding and even someone as gifted as the Princess Annice must spend years studying at the Bardic Hall to truly master the art. And for Annice one of those rare talents able to Sing the elemental spirits from each of the four quarters the call of magic was too strong to be denied even if it meant renouncing her royal blood and privileges. But Annice might have made a different choice if she could have foreseen that ten years after she'd transferred her life and loyalties from the royal palace to the Bardic Hall she'd find herself fleeing from the King's Guards. For Annice was twice guilty of treason first for imperiling the order of succession by becoming pregnant and second for aiding the father of her unborn child the Duc of Ohrid to escape the palace dungeons and the sentence of death hanging over his head. Now the fugitives' only hope lay in tracking down and bringing to justice the enemy who'd masterminded the Duc's downfall a dangerous foe who had found a way to tie lies and truths together into a knot even the most powerful of Bardic spells could not unravel."
